This episode is split into two parts; in the first I talk about what keeps depression and anxiety going: “Cognitive Distortions” which are flawed thinking patterns. There are many but I cover some common ones with a view to allowing you to recognise these in yourself. Part two: I discuss NHS vs private healthcare; pros and cons in my experience and what to expect. I also discuss the ways to find a private therapist, the cost and the going rate. Disclaimer: I’m not a professional so this is intended for information only. Please see your GP if concerned. I have about 15 yrs of living experience with mental health issues so I hope you get some value out of this episode.
