What's Up Docs?

Doctors' Notes: Willpower


Listen Later

Join Chris and Xand for some bonus content as they dig deeper into the topic of each week’s episode of What’s Up Docs?

Such is their passion for health and wellbeing that when joined by an expert they find it hard to contain their excitement and the questions just keep coming. Doctors' Notes is the solution. Here, they spend a little more time with the expert and explore some ideas that they can’t get out of their minds.

In this episode, picking up from their conversation with chartered psychologist Kimberly Wilson, Chris and Xand take a further look at willpower. Xand gets a bit of free therapy, evaluating his own relationship to willpower and they discuss relapse and the role it plays in the cycle of behavioural change.
