What does emotional health mean to you?
Emotionally Speaking is a podcast focused on finding strategies for living an emotionally healthy life.
Peter Leonard, the Chief Executive of the Centre for Emotional Health asks a range of guests to describe a particular challenge they have faced and to share their coping mechanisms for emotionally challenging experiences - anxiety, stage fright, loneliness, addiction, fatigue, family difficulties and clinical depression.
Their challenges could be ongoing, or in the distant past. Each guest talks reflectively about its impact. As the podcast grows, the emotional toolkit gets bigger with suggestions and advice that might work for you.
Emotional health is related to but different from mental health. Good emotional health can help you manage periods of poor mental health as well as the ups and down of everyday life. So, if you’re interested in living a more emotionally healthy life or want to know more about coping in difficult times, Emotionally Speaking will help you understand your emotions, how you relate to your emotional self, and other people.

In July 1996, a man wielding a machete ran into a playground in Wolverhampton. 21-year old nursery teacher Lisa Potts was seriously injured when she put herself between the children in her care and her attacker. Her life changed in an instant.
Lisa tells Peter Leonard about that day and the whirlwind of the first few years of recovery when her emotional resilience was tested. She explains why learning to “make your mind your friend” saved her and why it is the best advice she can give to the parents she works with in her role as a community health visitor.
*This episode contains graphic descriptions of the violent attack that Lisa experienced.
