    24: From Socrates to now
    Jul 20 2022
    Hannah and Emma discuss social media and mental health and the risks and benefits. From Socrates to now there have always been concerns that the new thing will corrupt the youth. We go from Bebo to TikTok and discuss the difference between a digital native and an elder millennial (hint- it involves reels). Finally, we provide quite an unconvincingly delivered guide to taking a social media break - Hannah isnt a quitter and Emma has too many twitter accounts to just abandon them. Get in touch if you have successfully taken a social media break and if it helped your mental health.

    An anti-valentine's episode (it was unintentional); this episode is about breakups and divorce including parents separating. We discuss why breakups are so painful, and what impacts on how we react, from our attachment styles to our ego ineffectively controlling the implusive id. We also discuss the aims of couples counselling.

    In our review of the year episode, we cover a lot of ground beginning with some notable athletes who have contributed to destigmatising mental health in 2021. We also discuss how the pandemic is dysregulating our nervous systems and leading to fatigue and 'pandemic brain'. Finally, we talk about stress research with Hans Selye and his rats and give some top tips on how we can address some of these symptoms.
