Patty Kikos had the opportunity to speak briefly with Sally Cockburn—widely known as Dr Feelgood—just before she took the stage at the Carer’s Conference, hosted by The Benevolent Society. In their 10-minute conversation, Sally offered candid insights into the emotional and physiological aspects of caregiving. With her trademark authenticity and deep passion for wellness, she highlighted the critical role of oxytocin, and the importance of physical affection, particularly as relationship dynamics evolve when one becomes a carer.
