I’m joined by clinical psychologist, trauma expert and author, Dr Sam Akbar. From understanding how your brain works and challenging your thought-processes to having more self-compassion, Sam’s work centres around providing sensitive and realistic guidance and tools to feel calmer, less stressed, and more resilient to life challenges.

We discuss:

• How to find psychological flourishing
• Why your thoughts are not the boss of you
• How to change your relationship with your thoughts
• Exercises to cultivate self-awareness
• How to beat stress & build resilience
• The importance of living life in line your values

Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we’re looking at collagen supplements.
