Paul Shields is a therapist who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy whom I started working with last year to try get over my childhood trauma and anxiety/attachment issues by far my most requested guest since I've spoke about him so much. We get in to some pretty tricky topics including - Do ssri's/anti depressants work and Pauls overview of them - Why are mental health issue's continuing to rise- Why is nobody talking about womans depression rates as they're actually really high too - Why therapists need to stop pushing positive happy self talk as it makes them unrelatable- Why the governments policies and refusal to do anything about the levels of poverty are ultimately what is going to stop mental health issue's from fallingIs it a problem with Westminister and the conservatives.. would labour be any better? Would any party make any difference?This was a more serious conversation than I anticipated having but considering Paul is one of the smartest people I know when it comes to how we think even if you don't agree with him I think you'll enjoy hearing my therapist talk openly about depression, anxiety, mental health disorders, treatments like CBT and everything mental health.To have your situation be spoke about on the pod email [email protected]Free beginner gym plan https://dedicated-designer-1731.ck.page/f75132c0fbSocial Media Links https://www.instagram.com/gavinmckinneypthttps://www.tiktok.com/@gavinmckinneypthttps://www.tiktok.com/@chatsh1tgetcancelled
