    S1E10 Making Friends with Gratitude


    How do you feel when someone asks you what you are grateful for? It should feel good, right? I struggled with gratitude for years. It felt like a straitjacket imposed from the outside, as something I should be, but because I didn’t feel grateful inside, I must be a bad person. Good thing I sorted that one out then, isn’t it?


    Featured Poem: How I am held, from the collection This is Not Therapy, recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022

    McCullough and Emmons research into the positive effects of gratitude: https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/giving-thanks-can-make-you-happier

    S1E9 Who Are You?

    What do you say when a stranger asks you ‘What do you do?’ Is your job title enough to describe who you are? Or does the answer make you chafe? Tina takes an irreverent look at the labels we give ourselves and asks if they aren’t always a bit too small for us.

    Featured Poem: Prediction, from the collection Everything Wrong With You Is Beautiful

    Recorded live at the Cheltenham Poetry Festival, 2017

    S1E7 How To Delight Your Dental Hygienist

    I know what you’re thinking. Ahh, Tina’s doing one about dentistry/people pleasing. And you could be forgiven for thinking that, bearing in mind the title. But in fact, it’s about…resistance. (Through the medium of resisting one particular aspect of dental hygiene, and the discussion thereafter.)

    So. What simple action or task do you ferociously resist doing? And how can you kindly melt that resistance. All that and more, in this episode.

    With thanks for the lovely Wendy Kay, for bravely discussing her own resistances around cooking. And botox.

     S1E6 I Assume You Know What You Are Talking About

    Yes, yes we all know what assumptions do. They make an ass out of me and…umption. Seriously though, assumptions are tiny hidden engines that run our thinking and influence our decisions. In this episode, Tina seeks out some of her assumptions and explores a situation where several of them collide.

    Do you remember how excited you were when you got your first mobile phone? Or the first time you heard a ping from your computer that said 'You've Got Mail?'
    How do you feel about them now?
    Tina takes a quick journey down memory lane, to see if she can't re-kindle the romance with her mobile phone, or at least become better friends with it.
