Self Help Books & A Very Shouty Pusscat

Mental Health Representation in Fiction Books Stuff!

Leading on from the last chat about self help books, we talk about fiction books and the ones that made us feel all the feelings. Mind out for the bit at about 30mins in when Nicolas tablet dies and I get cut off 😂 And a shouty Pusscat.

Self Help Books & A Very Shouty Pusscat

There is probably a literal fucktonne of self-help books out there right now and it's not always easy to find the right ones for you, ones which are helpful, but not peddling some kind of mental health snake oil or just straight up trying to get you to join a cult. So Nicola and I talk through some of our favourite ones, with a few apps in there too, and then right at the end Pusscat decides to yell his approval at our general messages. What a good boy.

Therapy!

Nicola and U talk about our experiences with therapy, good, bad and meh, and tips on finding the right therapist for you. We go through options that are free, subsidised and paid for. If you want therapy, you can access it free through the NHS or an appropriate charity such as Cruse Bereavement, Mind, Relate, Rape Crisis or if you are able to pay, look up the Counselling Directory

Depression

Nicola and I talk about depression, books and why we love YA literature. Next time, therapy!
