The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
03/22/22 • 45 min
This week on the Wellbeing Lab Podcast I chat about Body Dysmorphic Disorder with Hannah Kate Lewis, who is currently studying for a PhD in eating disorder prevention and also has personal experience with BDD. It's a topic that deserves more attention and I'm pleased I've been able to shine a light on it. I also chat to Dr Helen Kennerley who is a consultant clinical psychologist and an expert in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I had really interesting conversations with both guests about CBT and I learnt a lot in this episode, I hope you do too.
I also spoke to YOU dear listener about your experiences with body dysmorphia, I really appreciate you getting in touch and sharing your stories.
Here are some useful links and resources:
Hannah recommends looking up the BDD Foundation if you're after more information on BDD.
Here's more on David Burns' Feeling Good, the book that Helen and I discussed.
And here's all the info for MY new book Be Yourself and Happier, which comes out next month.

Thank you all so much for getting in touch. I love hearing from you and I'm proud of the community we’re creating.
In this week's episode I chat to the founder of ‘Renew Breakup Bootcamp’ Amy Chan and discuss all things relationships, including the myth of closure. I loved the chat with Amy and her book is fantastic. I also speak to Vijay Rana, a somatic experience trauma practitioner. I’ve worked with Vijay for a long time and have learnt a lot about what somatic therapy is and how the nervous system works in driving the mind. Enjoy!

Attachment
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
07/26/22 • 28 min
We've reached the final episode of Season 1 and I've saved one of my favourite topics 'til last. In this episode I explore the world of attachment with research scientist Dr. Suzanne Zeedyk. Dr. Suzanne's research begins with tiny babies, but she says our attachment styles can affect us into adulthood. It's fascinating stuff.
If you want to learn more, you can read up on attachment on Dr. Suzanne's website.
All being well, we'll be back with Season 2 soon, so make sure you're subscribed to the podcast to stay up to date with new releases.

Confidence
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
03/28/23 • 32 min
Welcome! The hiatus has come to an end, dear listener. I'm back with a fresh batch of episodes of The Wellbeing Lab and the season begins with a biggie.
I'm unpacking confidence. How to get it, how to keep it and why it might be lacking in the first place. Many of you have been in touch asking me to cover this, so I settled down for a chat with psychotherapist and Sunday Times bestselling author Anna Mathur, whose book 'Know Your Worth' asks the hard questions about why we feel the way we do.
As ever, I'd love to know what you think of the episode. Here's all the ways you can be in touch with me:

I'm also delighted to tell you I'm now a Patron of Shout, the UK's first and only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope.

Codependency and JAAQ
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
08/01/23 • 38 min
Ooh I'm excited to get into this week's topic. It's quite a complicated subject, but it's one of my favourites to discuss... codependency. When I learnt about codependency it was a lightbulb moment and I hope you glean some useful information from it. My guest is counselling psychologist Dr Jane Halsall who has a special interest in addiction.
We mention a few resources in the episode:
You can find Melody Beattie's 'Codependent No More' here
Pia Mellody's 'Facing Codependence' can be found at this link
And you can get information about your local CoDA group here
And we also have a little bonus chat for you this episode, with the inspiring Danny Gray of Just Ask A Question. It's an online platform that brings together world-leading mental health professionals to answer thousands of questions about all kinds of topics related to mental health and wellbeing.
And find out more about Warpaint For Men here

Grief
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
08/08/23 • 36 min
Grief is a universal experience, but one that we navigate alone. It's also one of the most-requested topics for me to cover here at the Wellbeing Lab.
So, for the final episode of Season 2 I talk with Andy Langford about grief and bereavement. Andy has worked in this field for over twenty years and is the Clinical Director at the charity Cruse. They help people with bereavement support, information and campaigning and you can find out more about their work here.
This is a big topic and there are so many more avenues we could have explored, but I'd be delighted to hear what you thought, or to hear your experiences with grief. The Wellbeing Lab team read all the correspondence that comes in and you can contact the lab on the links below:

Perfectionism
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
07/04/23 • 40 min
Nobody's perfect*, but striving for perfection can get us into mental health troubles and affect our day-to-day lives.
My guest, Thomas Curran, is the world's leading expert on perfectionism and in his book The Perfection Trap, he shares his personal experience of how impossibly high expectations stand in the way of happiness, health, and success. He also talks about why this is a growing problem and what we can do about it.

Hypnotherapy
The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
06/27/23 • 38 min
How do you perceive hypnosis? Do you fully fathom your subconscious? Well, I'm so excited to bring you this episode because I start to understand those questions and many more.
My guest is the hypnotherapist Jessica Boston and she really helped me get to grips with what hypnosis is, how it works and how it can be used to help us move forward if we're struggling with a problem. We also dispel some myths and we laugh along the way too.
You can find out more about Jessica on her website by clicking here.
I'd love to hear from you if you've tried hypnotherapy, or if anything else you've heard in this episode resonates. You can contact the podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, or you can email [email protected]
