Hello and welcome to the first episode of The Wellbeing Lab - live from my kitchen table and, of course, sat next to the dogs. This week, I chat to psychotherapist and addiction specialist Pamela Roberts exploring the subject of shopping addiction. We discuss the addiction itself, as well as what might be beneath it. Also on today’s episode, I discuss the importance of boundaries with author, speaker and life coach Michelle Elman. Get ready to wave goodbye to people pleasing!

Body Dysmorphic Disorder and CBT

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.
