In part two, Ruby Wax opens up about her experience of depression, explains how to recognise and respond to being triggered and reveals why she doesn’t feel like the word ‘mindfulness’ is actually reflective of her practice…

Plus, Ruby and Dr Alex George discuss the importance of recognising your thought patterns and how mental health recovery is a journey, not a destination.
