<p>This week my guest is a psychologist and psychotherapist Dr Natalie Cawley who has just released a book called <a href="https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0zDEqN7bIyLMwYPQSyyotLlFITMovLVFIzi_IzEtXSMrPzwYA7AQMyg&q=just+about+coping+book&rlz=1C5CHFA_enIE939IE939&oq=just+about+coping+book&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBEC4YgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyBwgBEC4YgAQyCggCEAAYgAQYogQyCggDEAAYogQYiQUyCggEEAAYgAQYogQyCggFEAAYgAQYogTSAQg0MzQzajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Just About Coping</a>. It reads like a drama but it's her story, her own experience of anxiety while becoming a qualified mental health professional, and what she's learned from both sides of the therapy room. It's peppered with really helpful anxiety advice and Natalie makes it so easy for you to grasp the concepts. If you've ever been curious about the person behind the qualifications and the expertise, this is a great place to start. We talk about so many things from her story, to the impact of breakups and why these in particular can result in so much anxiety, experiences like dissociation, cognitive distortions, attachment and more. We also talk about how one type of therapy worked for me but didn't yield any results for her. You can support this podcast by sharing it with a friend or signing up to my Substack.
