Continuing the quest of understanding emotions and mental health, addictions therapist Mandy Saligari joins us for this next episode with some challenging truths and encouraging advice.

We go from anxiety and out of control emotions, to eating disorders and self-harming, to toddler tantrums and teens who don’t talk. More importantly we talk about us as parents and what we can do raise our children so that they are best able to manage their emotions that they don’t need to self-medicate or shut down.

You may have seen Mandy on ITV’s This Morning, or Channel 5’s Celebrities in Therapy – or perhaps you’ve already watched her Ted talk about handling emotions. If so, you’ll know that she knows her stuff! Once an addict herself, she is now the co-founder of one of London’s leading treatment facilities for addictions on Harley Street. There’s so much to take away from this episode on negotiating our own emotional lives, whilst helping our children conquer self-destructive behaviour.

Mandy’s book is called Proactive Parenting and is jam packed with amazing advice and her Ted Talk is “Feelings, Handle Them Before They Handle You”

The NHS is at breaking point because of mental health illnesses, schools are spending their limited finances on help for the same so lets all do we can to raise the next generation of children to become adults who can!
