Josh has also spoken in the House of Commons, contributed to mental health policy and even advised the scriptwriting team on Hollyoaks. He has run resilience workshops for village schools and global brands alike. Additionally, he is an ambassador for Nacoa – a national charity supporting people affected by a parent’s drinking.In this conversation, Josh and I speak about his experiences growing up suppressing emotions, and how that led to early alcohol and drug problems.Josh shares his experiences around why it’s important for us to learn how to feel and express the emotions we might usually describe as negative in a healthy way.We also discussed the importance of holding space for others, and why it’s such a difficult thing to do, particularly as men.A big thank you to Josh for joining me for the first episode of the new season.—————I’m delighted to say that this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp - an online therapy and counselling service helping millions of people around the world.
