In episode 3 we heard about Britt's journey with depression. In this one Tim tells us his story and all about his experience of dealing with high levels of social anxiety as he reached his late teens and then on into his twenties and thirties.

We'll talk about possible reasons why we might experience anxiety, what it means to feel this way, and most importantly we go into some depth about what we can do to ultimately get control of our anxiety response.

Episode 4 - Self Care Is Not Selfish

In this episode we break down the importance of taking care of our own mental and emotional wellbeing in these strange times and how we might go about doing that.

We also discuss the reason why so many of us neglect our own care, preferring to put others' needs before our own, and why these acts of every day sacrifice often lead us down the path of self destruction.

At the end we give our top tips for maintaining and prioritising our own personal wellbeing and how we guard against the common mistake of viewing self care as selfish.
