In this episode I speak to clinical psychologist Dr Harriet Mellotte about CBT. Therapy changed my life and I wanted to bring Harriet on to better understand CBT and what it takes to become a clinical psychologist.

CBT changed my life and I hope by introducing more people to the concept and practice that it might inspire more people to investigate if it could help them with something they are struggling with in life.

In this episode we cover:

• Why Dr Harriet wanted to become a therapist
• What is CBT
• Why is CBT effective
• What are some common exercises that are undertaken in CBT
• What is trauma and why is so important to address
• PTSD and how to show up for a loved one processing a traumatic event
• What are some common themes for men that Harriet’s noticed in practice and through research into veterans
• The stigma & shame that men have around therapy
• The importance of not suffering in silence

Hope you enjoy!
