  • Whole Brain Living with Dr Jill Bolte Taylor
    This week Cass Dunn chats with Harvard-trained and published neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Dr Taylor is most famous for her fascinating TED talk My stroke of insight, where she talked about her experience of having a stroke that caused her the left hemisphere of her brain to 'go offline'.
    In this chat Dr Taylor unpacks her new book Whole Brain Living, where she argues that we don't just a left and right hemisphere, we actually have four brain quadrants - left thinking, left feeling and right thinking, right feeling.
    She explains how getting to know these four 'characters' that live inside our brains can bring about life changing improvements to our sense of wellbeing and our ability to live life in a calm, present and playful state.

    In this episode, Cass talks to Dr Kristin Neff, who is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion.

  • Breaking the Trauma Loop with Sarah Woodhouse
    What causes trauma and how can we release it? Trauma expert, Sarah Woodhouse talks with Cass Dunn about how both big and "little" traumatic experiences can leave us trapped in cycles of dysfunctional behaviours, negative thoughts and difficult feelings. When you're able to recognise your own, and other people's trauma responses, you're better able to interrupt those old patterns, reawaken your true self and reclaim your future.
    Sarah's book is called "You're Not Broken".
