Discussing Resilience
01/17/21 • 63 min
In this, the first episode of 2021, I thought it was important just to look at resilience and to discuss what we can do to help improve or maybe bolster pour self worth and well being to ensure that we feel able enough to get through yet another lock down.
Debbie Wood (Psychological Therapist) joins me again to have a great discussion on this topic.

Previous Episode
Carolyn's Journey from aversion to accepting
I introduced myself to Carolyn after seeing her speak at a Stonewall Event.
She spoke on a topic that I have wanted to discuss on the podcast but to date, had not found anyone who I could invite on as a guest.
Carolyn gives a very candid account of her experiences of aversion therapy and talks to me about how her self hatred drove her to seek this intervention.
Carolyn talks about how she is still struggling with letting herself experience positive emotions. She is however, still developing herself to achieve this.
She is an absolutely amazing woman and I hope our conversation helps you, especially if you struggling with who you are.
It is important to warn you that this episode has an extract from the short film by Andrew Cardinal called Carolyn- A survivor of aversion therapy. In that extract, Carolyn talks explicitly of her experiences of aversion therapy.
There are links below for you to contact someone to talk about any adverse feelings you may experience as a result of listening to this episode.
