Last month we  learned what anxiety is and how our brain works when we feel it. In this new episode we discuss the different techniques that can relax and calm us down when we're feeling anxious and why we need to practice them even when we not. 
We're also very pleased to welcome a very special guest to our show: Gigi Langer, author of the award-winning book 50 Ways to Worry Less Now: Reject Negative Thinking to Find Peace, Clarity, and Connection. 

Hello everyone and welcome to the second season of Get Talking! We're starting this new season with a two-part episode around the suject of anxiety and what we can do to keep it under control. In this show we'll focus on the physical aspect of anxiety to understand what's going on in our bodies when  we feel anxious. 

Is there really a connection between the gut and the brain? On this month's show we find the answer to this question and many more. Join us for an enlightening conversation about brain and gut health, and truly understand how improving our eating habits can help us fight mental illness. 

The world has changed quite dramatically in 2020 and our end-of-the-year celebrations will be very different as well. Some people may have lost loved ones, others might be going through financial difficulties, and many will face the dilemma of having to choose the people they will spend their holidays with. It's with these changes in mind that Jason and Christine share some practical tips that will help keep you mentally healthy during the festive period. 

In this episode  we further examine the concept of life crisis. Firstly we reflect on Jamie's story (as told in Part 1) and try to extract what might be useful for our listeners who might be looking to make changes and understand the psychology around it.  Then we take a look at Jason's  own life crisis and how he managed to turn that around.  

In this episode we discuss life crises: in the plural, because they can happen at many different times and not just to middle-aged people. Joining us for this show is Jamie Ramsay, who left behind a successful career in financial communications to run from Vancouver to Buenos Aires and find personal fulfillment as an endurance adventure athlete. 

Have you ever gone to work sick because you felt you needed to? Or perhaps you have worked longer hours just to impress your boss? If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above you have experienced something we call preseenteeism: the habit of  coming to work when you shouldn't. 

In this episode, Jason and Christine discuss the damage that this practice causes on staff productivity and mental health, and what can be done to minimise and fix the problem. 

This month's podcast from the team at Get Mentally Healthy explores the subject of gratitude: what it means, why and when we feel it, the benefits and how we can practice and cultivate it, finally looking at ways companies can introduce more gratitude into the workplace. 

Welcome to Get Talking, a series of podcasts developed by the team at Get Mentally Healthy. Do you know how humans developed talking? Or why it's so important for our wellbeing? In this first episode Jason and Christine will answer those questions and discuss why it should be encoraged and the reasons to normalise talking about subjects such as mental health in the workplace.
