  • BETWEEN SESSIONS – Can a chat bot be a relationship substitute?

    Between sessions is when Dr Audrey reflects on what has been going on during the week – and this week it’s about the importance of connecting in real life.  Related to last week on the need for more connection IRL, this week, Dr Audrey considers the impact of chat bots and whether they can ever be a true substitute for a relationship.

  • BETWEEN SESSIONS – Less Content More Connection

    Between sessions is when Dr Audrey reflects on what has been going on during the week – and this week it’s about the importance of connecting in real life.  There is so much content, and yes, we get that this is part of that continuous channel of information – but we need to make time to talk…really talk, face-to-face too!

  • Building Care and Respect for our bodies (of all sizes)

    This is one of the most eye-opening discussions we’ve had on our show.  We’re joined by Dr Kat Schneider of the Centre for Appearance Research to discuss the importance of appreciating and celebrating Body Diversity, and Body functionality…and why living in a larger body is not something to have to explain!  Plus – she explores why health interventions at the individual level are not enough.

  • How Childhood experience affects adult behaviour


    So much of Dr Gus Chaves’ consultative work as a clinical hypnotherapist and medical GP has been about helping adults reconnect with their inner child…and in this episode we focus on how some of our adult patterns are set down in childhood – for good or for bad.  This isn’t about blame, but about recognising how what we do affects those that see it.
