- First world problems
Sometimes it seems a bit like these are first world problems when there are much deeper problems in this world than having the privilege to graduate from university but still not feeling good enough.

Have just listened to the latest episode with Mark Williamson. He spoke with such clarity and vision and as always, after Therapy Works interviews, I felt inspired and proactive! Have downloaded the Action for Happiness App and look forward to their daily ‘happiness’ tips. Thank you, Julia, for yet another wonderfully insightful conversation. Therapy Works is utterly brilliant!

Please, no more posh white guests! This does nothing to dispel the myth that psychotherapy is only accessible to wealthy middle class white people!

The amount of ads is unbelievably excessive and interrupting. Makes me think of ‘by all cost financial’ motivation behind podcasts as such. The content itself appears to be quite shallow, especially compounded by deflated host’s personality who is seemingly disengaged from their audience.
