In this week's episode of the podcast, Tony and Barry discuss the impact of a gambling problem on mental health - especially in terms of anxiety and depression.  We discuss the Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) approach to managing low mood, as well as discussing the importance of giving your mind a job to avoid over-thinking.  We also look at the 4:8 Breathing Technique for dealing with anxiety/panic attacks.  

Co-hosted by addiction counsellors Barry Grant and Tony O'Reilly, from Extern Problem Gambling.

The podcast is proudly sponsored by Gamban.
