Tuesday Talks - On Relationships. New guest every Tuesday. Insightful, inspiring & interesting chats on relationships. No topic is off limits. Tuesday Talks with Chris Stein - Future Men is a multi-award-winning specialist charity that supports boys and men along the path to becoming dynamic future men, whilst addressing the stereotypes around masculinity and engaging in the wider conversation of what it means to be a man.

Your mission - To inspire boys and men to become dynamic future men, by giving them the confidence to discover what it means to be a man. Some of the questions asked were: 1. What does it mean to be a man? 2. What is positive masculinity? - In my book – Single … which is actually around relationships – as I have two sons, I dedicated a chapter to raising kids, and a lot about boys. Not just from my experience, but literature review as well. 3. What are the main issues boys face today? #raisingboys #boys #relationshipdynamics #mentalhealth #meaningfulconnections #men #masculinity #toxicmasculinity #positivechange #positivemasculinity #helpingcommunity #fatherhood #parenthood

Tuesday Talks with Justin Rhoades - Today we’ll be talking about crime, the legal system, and relationships that go wrong for youths and people who turn to crime. Does crime pay?

How do prosecutors think, and what happens when you get caught? How do personal relationships deteriorate? Why are the police and the whole justice system slow and blurry around the edges? Justin believes that, despite these issues, the heart of the system works.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California serves seven counties, including Los Angeles. It covers nearly 20 million people, and by population, is the largest of the 94 judicial districts in the U.S. Justin Rhoades worked as an Assistant United States Attorney, which is a federal prosecutor who works for the US Attorney, who is appointed by the President.

Dr. Coco Novak's interview on Riverside radior just prior to her official book launch on the 4th of June 2024

Come along! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-single-and-too-tired-to-mingle-tickets-885419051217?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

Tuesday Talks with Prof. Deborah Christie Prof. Deborah Christie is a Professor of Paediatric and Adolescent Psychology and a Consultant Clinical Psychologist/Clinical Lead for Paediatric and Adolescent Psychological Medicine at University College London (UCL) Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust, where she has worked since 1998. Join us for a real and fun conversation about adolescence. How do we manage ourselves and our growing children? How do we adapt our behavior to their stage of life—unique, sometimes difficult, but always short? If we can ride it well, we end up with wonderful adults who want to hang out with us again.

Let's remember we were once young too. Dr. Coco Novak writes about this stage in her and her children's lives in her book Single, and Too Tired to Mingle. Let's not be tough on our adolescents but embrace this part of growing up. Prof. Christie has a passion for working with young people searching for ways to live with chronic illness. She talks openly about her grandson's diagnosis of diabetes - and the challenges he is going through.

A must watch for any parent with a child suffering with any illnesses. Dr Christie has received a number of awards – most recently the Quality in Care Best initiative for young people with diabetes and the Adele Hoffman visiting professorship in adolescent health and medicine. Dr Christie is an international presenter and trainer in motivational and solution focused therapies and works with multidisciplinary teams to help them engage and communicate effectively with children, young people and families living with chronic illness and managing complexity.

Dr Christie has published over 100 peer reviewed papers and chapters and is co-editor of a bestselling book Psychosocial aspects of diabetes in children, adolescents and families. Research interests currently include neuropsychological outcomes in children and adolescent survivors of meningitis, quality of life measures in chronic illness, and the development of effective multidisciplinary interventions for diabetes and obesity in children.

Tuesday Talks features Rachel Seymour who is a psychosexual and relationship therapist. Rachel works with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, although she most often works with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD). That could mean someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, queer (or a combination!). Rachel Seymour works with people on a wide variety of issues: she sees couples who want to work on improving communication in their relationship; she sees individuals who are struggling to identify what they want sexually; she sees people who want a space to process their feelings more generally. Rachel works in an integrative way. This means she pulls from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. She also works through a GSRD lens - for example, Rachel believes that everyone (regardless of relationship style) can benefit from the skills developed through polyamory (for example communication). Rachel works both short-term and long-term with clients based on your goals and needs. You will work together to identify what you are looking for from a therapist, whether that is skills-building, a space to process difficult feelings, an empathetic ear, or sex education.

Tuesday Talks with Dr. Deba Choudhury: Today, we're discussing all things trauma—both little 't' and big 'T' traumas. How do we recognize trauma versus stress? How do we develop trauma, and how can we overcome it?

Dr. Deba shares her insights in simple terms that we can all understand. Intergenerational trauma is another fascinating topic. Through epigenetics, we can inherit our grandparents' trauma without even knowing it.
