In this episode we discuss the ways in which we have control over our lives and how we can forget that sometimes. We talk about concepts in psychology such as locus of control, belief in luck and fate and how this can contribute to us not getting the things we want out of life. This episode also delves into the basic ways we can care and nurture ourselves in order to gain more agency over our lives and getting through the first hurdles of mental health recovery.

In this week's episode we discuss family, parents and codependency.
