Renowned psychotherapist and author Philippa Perry explores what her life would have been like if, as a teenager she had been encouraged to go to university as opposed to being dismissed because of her (then undiagnosed) dyslexia. Along the way, she and host Miriam Robinson also discuss the importance of setting boundaries, what it means to find your tribe, and a counterintuitive way to get your kids to do the dishes.

Philippa Perry has been a psychotherapist for twenty years. She is an agony aunt for Red Magazine, a freelance writer, and a TV and radio presenter. Her bestselling books include The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will Be Glad That You Did) and Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy (Penguin Life) She lives in London with her husband the artist Grayson Perry, and they have a grown-up daughter, Flo.
