Ignoring it, telling someone and fighting back are, she says, logical strategies for an emotional subject. Instead, Lovegrove suggests working on your self-esteem, learning grounding exercises, practising meditation and keeping a bunch of written down self-care options to hand.

Presented by Robyn Steward and Henry, Jamie Knight and Lion. Produced by Emma Tracey.
