I've often get told I need professional help, so here we go... 

Yes today I am joined by Mental Health Professional Lanah Dunsmuir. 

Like all climbers she has gone through the rollercoaster mental gymnastics but all condensed into a fair shot period of time. Something she has battled with, but with her experience and skills as a mental health nurse she is coming out the other side a much better, and happier climber.

This episode is going to come as a two parter. Lanah wants a chance to tell her story but also recognises that many of us struggle with the same anxieties so she is also putting together an episode two, to give some helpful advice on how to manage the stresses we face as best as possible.

So sit back and enjoy the chat with Lanah and if empathise with her journey a little and want some guidance, then check out Episode 2 soon.
