Welcome to episode 198 with Dr Susie Bennett, a psychologist and research fellow at the 'Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab' at the University of Glasgow.
Her work focuses on trying to understand why men are more at risk of suicide and what can be done to help more men access a dignified and meaningful life.
Through this work, Susie has been involved in reviewing two decades of research on male suicide, joining forces with 242 people impacted by male suicide to create an agenda of research priorities for male suicide and asking men who have been suicidal in the past week or year to tell her about the barriers they experience around accessing professional support.
In this episode I chat to Susie about why she got involved in researching such a specific topic and how the work has impacted how she sees the world.
We chat about some of the outcomes from her research and get in to things like the cultural norms of masculinity, gender bias and psychological pain and we chat about emotions, relationships and success and how they impact men specifically.
We also chat about how to move past awareness and just telling men to talk and what needs to change if we want to change the heartbreaking statistics around male suicide.
Susie’s work is fascinating and vital. It was an absolute pleasure to explore it with her.
This episode is a big one, we cover important things and things that are tricky to talk about but these are the conversations that we need to having and I hope you get a lot out of listening.
On Susie’s website, http://malesuicideresearch.com you can access all of the studies we talk about in this episode as well as all sorts of interesting reports and talks. Her socials are amazing too @male_suicide_research.

We chat about him being sectioned last year and how that forced him to make some big life changes and how all of this led to the incredible new Wildhearts record ‘The Satanic Rites of The Wildhearts’ We chat about moving to the countryside and learning to slow down, how he took control over his mental health by asking himself some very difficult questions and why doing the inner work is worth it despite being really hard to do. And we chat about approaching the world from a place of love, the healing power of music and animals and looking forward to the ultimate test of his new approach to life when the band hit the road this month.

Sam guested on Proper Mental a couple of years ago back at episode 127, and in that episode, we talked a lot about his problems with addiction and how he adjusted to getting sober. This time around, Sam and I chat about some of the things that drove addictions and the reasons why he turned to drink and drugs in the first place. We talk about work, ambition, competitiveness, about why these things often push people towards addiction and mental health issues and we chat about lad culture, learning to sit with yourself and how self-acceptance trumps self-improvement. We also talk about male friendship, having fun and reframing laziness. Sam’s new book is called ‘Stop Shitting Yourself: 15 Life Lessons that might help you calm the f*ck down’ and in the book, Sam dissects our obsession with hyper-productivity and high performance living and here he also guides me through the issues with this approach to life and how a low performance mindset is actually the way to go. I always enjoy spending time with Sam. He’s always insightful, always honest and always good fun to chat to! Sam’s book is out now in all bookshops!

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 202 with Dan Astles, who is a musician and singer songwriter from Liverpool who makes music under the name Astles, either on his own or alongside a 10 strong musical collective called The Balloon Moon Orchestra. Dan has a new album on the way that has a very sad but beautiful story behind it. Dan’s uncle Joseph died by suicide before he was born, but it was often commented on by the family that they had things in common. While searching through his Nana’s loft, Dan found glimpses in to his uncle’s life through a collection of albums, posters, gig tickets and assorted memorabilia from a fellow music lover. Amongst this musical treasure trove was also a mix tape titled ‘Soundtrack for the 21 Bus Home’ and it was this collection of songs, and everything he found with it, that inspired his most recent E.P and upcoming album, which is named after his uncle’s handcrafted playlist. In this episode I chat to Dan about his uncle’s passing, how it has impacted his family through the years and how he felt that impact around him growing up. We chat about his upcoming album and how his uncle’s collection of songs inspired him to reflect on his own struggles with his mental health. And we also chat about growing up as a young lad on Merseyside while embracing the softer side of masculinity, working with local legends Bill Ryder-Jones and Mick Head and what it was like to play one of his tunes for Sir Paul McCartney. Dan and I were acquaintances before having this conversation but since chatting I feel like I can call him a mate. We were able to record this episode in person, over a cup of tea, and it was an absolutely lovely way to spend a morning!

Welcome to episode 201 with Dr Martin Brunet, who has been an NHS GP for more than 20 years and is also well known for his social media channels and videos about different aspects of mental health. In this episode I chat to Martin about his time in general practice and some of the changes he has seen in mental health over the years. We also talk about his new book ‘Your Worry Makes Sense’ and how anxiety and burnout are logical and some ideas about what we can do to overcome these challenges. We chat about worry and over thinking, about facing your fears and seeing your triggers as shortcuts to your emotions and we also talk about how to define and understand burnout and why there is a certain type of person that tends to go through it. I’ve followed Martin on social media for a while and always get a lot from his video’s. I was also lucky enough to get an early look at his upcoming book and I can highly recommend that too!

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 200 with Professor Joanna Moncrieff who is a psychiatrist, author and researcher who is one of the founding members of the Critical Psychiatry Network. In 2022, Joanna was the lead author of a study that explored the ‘chemical imbalance’ theory of depression and found that no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for depression. The study became one of the 400 most shared of the 21 million papers that have ever been tracked and caused great debate throughout the mental health space. In this episode I chat to Joanna about this research, what it involved and what the findings showed. We chat about some of the response and criticism to this piece of work and how the chemical imbalance theory came to prominence in the first place. We talk about some of the other’s factors that could be causing depression if it isn’t in fact serotonin as the research shows. We also chat about depression, serotonin, anti-depressants, diagnosis and labels and what the future of mental health treatment and support could look like. Medication is a very personal choice and the aim of this episode isn’t to debate or influence anyone on their views on anti-depressants, just simply to explore this aspect of the mental health conversation because I think that’s important. Don’t make decisions about your own medication without discussing it with a medical professional. You can find the original study here: The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence | Molecular Psychiatry A summary of some of the responses and criticism here: expert reaction to a review paper on the ‘serotonin theory of depression’ | Science Media Centre And a response from Joanna to that specific criticism here: Response to Criticism of Our Serotonin Paper - Mad In America Joanna’s new book is called Chemically Imbalanced: the making and unmaking of the serotonin myth and it’s out now.

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 197 with Kevin Briggs, who is a retired sergeant for the California Highway Patrol, known as the "Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge”. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean in California. It’s about 200 feet above the water and there are 6 lanes of traffic that cross the bridge as well as a separate pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. It is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, partly because of the incredible architecture but also because it’s reputation as a suicide hot spot. Part of Kevin’s job, as part of the Highway Patrol was to respond to calls for anyone attempting suicide by jumping from the bride. He was the person responsible for talking them back over the railing and keep them safe. It’s estimated that Kevin helped around 200 individuals over his 20 years on the force. In this episode I chat to Kevin about joining the force and how, as a new police officer, he had to learn very quickly how to talk people off the bridge despite having no formal training in this at all. We chat about what it was like to do this 4 or 5 times a month, just as part of his job and how his approach changed over the years. We chat about how to talk to someone about suicide and the importance of actually listening and the difference between having these conversations in day to day life versus having them on a ledge, more than 200 feet above water. We also chat about the picture of Kevin talking a man off the edge of the bridge, how that day played out and what it was like when that photo became famous all over the world. I’m sure you’ve seen that photo; it does the rounds on social media all the time! It was incredible to chat to Kevin about that day and also all the other days and the work he does now. He has so much experience in this space and so much knowledge and it was a real pleasure to chat!

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 196 with Rory Lamont, who is a former professional Rugby Union player and the co-founder of CAIM, a health and wellness retreat centre in highland Scotland. During his time as a professional rugby player, Rory played for Glasgow Warriors, Sale Sharks and Toulon. He has 29 international caps for Scotland and has represented his country in two world cups. Over the years he was plagued by various injuries and concussions and whilst playing against Wales in the 2012 Six Nations tournament, he suffered a career ending leg break. The injury, the surgeries, medical drugs and loss of both his career and identity pushed Rory in a mental and spiritual crisis which took him to the brink of ending his own life. The collapse of his physical and mental health forced Rory to confront himself and he travelled to Costa Rica where he experienced the transformational healing power of the plant medicine Iboga which helped him to identify the changes he needed to make and he began the journey of healing and inner work that would lead him to the work he does now. In this episode Rory guides me through the highs and lows of his rugby career and the injuries that kickstarted the decline in his mental health. We chat about his first experience with plant medicine and how it helped him and we chat about what we can learn from depression, about learning to let go and to be vulnerable, the importance of healing as part of a community and why this work needs to be made more accessible. We also chat about how scary it is to do these things, why men need rites of passage and the role of the hero’s journey and we chat about some of the incredible things that Rory has witnessed while holding space and supporting others. It was wonderful to hear Rory’s story and how he learned to navigate his struggles. I can’t thank him enough for his openness. The work he does now feels vital and I came away from this conversation feeling hopeful and inspired.

Welcome to episode 195 with Dr Linda Gask who is a writer and a psychiatrist who has been an advisor to the World Health Organisation and been awarded the President’s Medal by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2017. Her latest book is titled ‘Out of Her Mind’ which asks the questions ‘Are we failing women’s mental health and what needs to be done?’ In this episode I chat to Linda about some of the more common societal factors that can impact the mental wellbeing of women and how she went about learning more about these issues for her book. We chat about how the treatment of mental health has historically let women down and if that’s changed in more recent times and we chat about the role of feminism in this conversation and whether women are depressed or oppressed. We also chat about community, single issue politics, medical gaslighting and men’s mental health too. I really enjoyed chatting to Linda and I got a lot out of our conversation!

Welcome to episode 194 with Dr Benji Waterhouse who is a front-line NHS doctor specialising in psychiatry and an award-winning stand-up comedian. He is also the author of the best-selling medical memoir ‘You Don’t Have to Be Mad to Work Here’ where he has written about his work as a psychiatrist and the stories of the patients he has met along the way. In this episode I chat to Benji about his book and his work and why he decided to work in medicine’s most mysterious and controversial speciality. We chat about the process of sectioning someone, the origins of psychosis and delusions and some of the myths around mental illness in general. We also chat about the impact that working in mental health can have on medical staff and the difficult decisions that have to be made when mental illness accounts for 28% of the overall disease burden but only receives 13% of funding. We also get in to empathy, burnout, psychedelics and how to deal with a patient who thinks he’s a werewolf. This episode is a lovely mix of humour and insight and it was fascinating to learn more about the other side of psychiatry!

Welcome to episode 192 with Nathan Filer, who is a writer, university lecturer and broadcaster and a former mental health nurse. In this episode I chat to Nathan about his route in to nursing and how it formed some of things that he has written books about. I reached out to Nathan after reading his book ‘This Book will Change Your Mind about Mental Health’ and it was great to chat about some of the themes from his work. We chat about the stigma around mental health and mental illness, if it still exists and who exactly benefits from the constant conversation around removing it. We chat about both sides of the diagnosis debate, why language is everything and the why comparing physical health to mental is problematic. There is a lot of complexity to the themes throughout this conversation and it was wonderful to have the time and the space to explore the nuance from all sides. I really enjoyed this and I think it is this level of depth and compassion that is sorely needed in the mental health space. I hope it gives you lots to think about!

We chat about running, the pressures of the corporate world, connecting with others and the emotional impact of this year’s marathon, his 25th in a row, but the first one without the support of his brother who took his own life last year. Dave is a truly lovely man and it was a joy to chat to him about his special relationship with The Samaritans charity and some of the changes he has seen in the mental health space over the years.

Welcome to episode 173 with Gulwali Passarlay, who is a speaker and campaigner for refugee rights. Gulwali was sent away from Afghanistan at the age of twelve, after his father was killed in a gun battle with the US Army. He was smuggled into Iran and spent the next 12 months traveling through Europe. He crossed 10 countries, was put in prison 6 times, endured a desolate month in the camp at Calais and almost drowned at sea before making it to Britain. When he arrived, the authorities did not believe he was a child of 13 due to his appearance. Eventually he was fostered, sent to a good school, won a place at a top university, and was chosen to carry the Olympic torch in 2012 and he has told his story of life as a refugee in his autobiography: “The Lightless Sky” which is an incredible read. In this episode I chat to Gulwali about his childhood in Afghanistan before being forced to leave. We chat about the impact that fleeing a war zone had on his mental health and how the struggles with bureaucracy, isolation and racism added to his mental struggles. We also chat about how his story is just one of thousands of similar stories and we talk about compassion and understanding and breakdown some of the myths and misunderstandings around refugees and asylum seekers. In the general conversation around the refugee crisis, people tend to talk in numbers or about boats and barges and benefits but behind every figure and statist is a person, who just like Gulwali, has probably lived through some horrific experiences and I wanted to do an episode about the mental health side of that. This is an episode that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s a little different but it’s important and I can’t thank Gulwali enough for his insight and his time. You can follow Gulwali on social media here: @gulwali_passarlay Watch his Tedx Talk here: How I got to Manchester from Afghanistan: Gulwali Passarlay at TEDxManchester (youtube.com) And his website is Gulwali Passarlay | The official website of an influential Afghan refugee who is a published author, TEDx speaker, and a Politics major at the University of Manchester.

Bill was a co-founder of The Coral, which they started when he was 13, and he played lead guitar on the first five albums, eventually leaving in 2008. It was around then that Bill started to experience depression, agoraphobia and panic attacks which would eventually lead him to leave The Coral at the height of their success. At that time, it wasn’t made public that Bill’s mental health issues where a result of witnessing the death of his brother in a freak accident while they were on a family holiday as children.. After the breakdown that followed, Bill started to work on his solo career and to date has released 5 albums under his own name and has collaborated with the Arctic Monkey, Graham Coxon and Paloma Faith and produced records for the likes of Mick Head and Saint Saviour and many others. His latest record, Iechyd da, was released in January to a fanfare of praise and glowing reviews and its already a contender for album of the year. In this episode I chat to Bill about the album, the songs and the upcoming tour. We chat about Bill’s experiences with agoraphobia and how it affects him day to day and in relationships and we chat about touring, drinking, getting older and making music. We also chat about panic attacks and dealing with fear and being alone how sometimes choosing an unhealthy coping strategy is choosing the lesser of many possible evils. I loved chatting to Bill. He is such a lovely man and we laughed a lot despite getting in to some really deep topics. I’m a huge fan of his music so getting the opportunity to ask him about it was a personal podcasting highlight for me and I can’t thank him enough for his openness and his time.

Welcome to episode 167 with Nadia Gilani, who is a writer and yoga teacher. Nadia was introduced to yoga as a teenager when her Mum took her along to a class as a way of helping her mental health. Since then, yoga has been a constant and important part of her life but her relationship with the practice has not always been a smooth one. In this episode I chat to Nadia about her experiences with mental illness that started when she was a teenager. We chat about that first yoga class, what led her there and the impact that finding yoga has had since. And we chat about eating disorders, sobriety and recovery and we chat about movement, physical health and why wellness is bullshit. Of course, we chat a lot about yoga, how it can be beneficial with regards to mental health but also how it’s not the answer to everything like it’s often sold to be. I absolutely loved chatting to Nadia! We had one of those wonderful conversations that goes absolutely everywhere and we really got in to some big topics. I highly recommend her book The Yoga Manifesto which covers a lot of the themes we talk about here and a lot more besides. It’s out now and available everywhere.

Welcome to episode 166 with Tate Smith, who is an award-winning trans activist, consultant and speaker. Tate started to experience anxiety at high school but this had nothing to do with his gender. It was only later on in his teenage years that he became aware of what it means to be trans and was able to start making sense of himself. In this episode I chat to Tate about anxiety, why it started and how it affects his life. I also chat to Tate about coming out as trans, how that was received in his workplace and the last few years he has spent working towards becoming his true self. We discuss stigma, hate and misunderstanding and we discuss joy, freedom and authenticity. It was also fascinating to get Tate’s perspective on the current men’s mental health crisis as someone who has presented as both female and male Tate is so wonderfully open about his life and his experiences and it was great to chat, to debunk some myths and look at men’s mental health from a completely different perspective.

Welcome to episode 165 with Roxy Longworth. When Roxy was 13, she was coerced then blackmailed into sending explicit photos, which were spread around her school. The school blamed all of this on Roxy and the shame and embarrassment that was heaped down on her, by the very establishment that was supposed to be looking after her, took a huge toll on her mental health and eventually led to self-harm and hearing voices. At 14 she suffered a psychotic breakdown and was hospitalized. She spent the next four years rebuilding her mental health, and her life, and she wrote about all of this in the memoir ‘When You Lose It’. The book is an incredibly emotional read. Half is written by Roxy from her perspective, the other half is written by her Mum and it details the impact that mental illness has on both the person experiencing it and the people that love them and have to help them through it. In this episode I chat to Roxy about being a young person and growing up in this technology driven age. We chat about the events that led to the photos being taken and shared and everything that happened after. We chat about psychosis, self-harm, being in hospital and working with difficult emotions like anger and shame and we chat about the experience of writing the book, reading her Mum’s side of the story and the complex relationships between teenagers and parents. I reached out to Roxy after reading her book, which I found incredibly moving and challenging to read. She has a wonderful understanding of everything that happened and her own mental health and it was a privilege to chat to her about all of it. The book is available in all good book shops and you can follow Roxy on social media @roxylongworth_ You can connect with me on social media @propermentalpodcast or via www.propermentalpodcast.com .

Welcome to a very special Christmas episode of the Proper Mental podcast! Tis the season that not everybody enjoys, for a lot of different reasons. I wanted to put something out at Christmas that might give someone a little lift if they needed one, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. Sometimes 5 minutes can make all the difference. I reached out to advocates, campaigners, authors, speakers and podcasters and friends and I asked them to record a voice note that might be nice for someone to hear over Xmas. Some of these people I knew and some I didn’t but all of them are wonderful and inspiring and I was so touched by the response. You’ll be hearing from Chris Young, Laura Belbin, Shocka, Natasha Devon, Hannah Phillips, Yvette Caster, Natasha Rae, Tatton Spiller, James Whithey, Gabriel Nathan, Eva Echo, I’ve put them all together here in this episode. There are some anecdotes, some advice, some kind words or useful ideas. You can listen in one go or dip in and out when you want to. It might help if you’re not really in the mood for Christmas and if you love this time of year, then it will inspire you to love it even more. I reached out to a bunch of strangers and asked them to leave a supportive message for a different bunch of strangers and all these people said yes. That truly is a sign that you are not alone and to me, it’s the true spirit of Xmas. There are so many support services that stay open and available during the Xmas period, please reach out if you need to. Please talk to someone if you need to. If you or anyone you know needs to find support in your local area, head to www.hubofhope.co.uk . There’s a link in my bio.

1 Lessons learned from surviving Everest twice, Bulimia and Long Covid with adventurer Alex Staniforth 58:45
Welcome to episode 189 with Alex Staniforth, who is an adventurer, speaker and the founder of Mind Over Mountains, a charity that brings together walking in nature, mindfulness & professional coaching and counselling in support of good mental health & wellbeing. Alex was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of nine and this would be the catalyst for several years of bullying, anxiety, panic attacks and a lifelong stammer. He found that time in nature, and more specifically time on hills and mountains, helped his mental health and he was just 14 when he set his sights on climbing Mount Everest. His first attempt, aged 18, ended when an avalanche in the Khumbu Icefall killed 16 climbing Sherpas. During his second attempt, base camp was hit by the Nepal earthquake which killed 3 Sherpas in Alex's team. This led Alex to a long period of survivor’s guilt, depression and Alex also fell in to bulimia, which he was still dealing with when he set out to climb all of the highest peaks in the UK, in 72 days, with only a bicycle for transport. We talk about all of that in this episode. We also talk about dealing with failure, why it’s important to take on challenges and what we can learn from both these things and we chat about identity and what it was like for Alex when he was forced to step away from endurance challenges by long Covid and how he had to learn to do things differently.

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 188 with Jaxon Feeley, who is a Life and Mindset Coach, motivational speaker and TV personality. Jax served in the military as an RAF Corporal for 4 years, which included a tour of Iraq, before joining MHP Hindley as a prison officer. Throughout his life, Jax had been through plenty of mental health struggles but had always managed to pull through and distract himself through his work. Eventually things got to a point where he had to face these struggles head on and face some things that he had been ignoring since childhood. Jax came out as transgender and made the decision to transition from female to male whilst still working at the prison. He served 3 years as a female officer, and 3 years as Jaxon. Since leaving the prison service, Jax has been on a mission to advocate for the trans community and demonstrate the sort of visibility that he needed to see all those years ago. In this episode I chat to Jax about his time in the military, some of the mental health struggles he faced through this time and how they ultimately led him to start questioning his gender identity. We chat about showing up and being vulnerable, asking yourself difficult questions, living authentically, learning how to be your true self and his recent appearance on Channel 4’s Hunted. Jax has an incredible story and it would have been really easy to make this a whole episode about gender but we had so much more to talk about than that alone!

James started off experimenting with words by writing out his thoughts and feelings to instrumental film scores and he found that expressing himself through poetry helped him navigate his way through depression. After publishing several books, he launched The Poetry Project with the aim of spreading mental health awareness, throw people in at the deep end and inspire them to think, pause and reflect. Since his first piece was displayed on a train station platform, the project has grown and James’ words have been displayed by some of the world’s biggest brands and in iconic locations all over the globe. In this episode I chat to James about his experiences with depression and these experiences led him to poetry. We chat about the origins of The Poetry Project, how he got it started and how it spread all over the world. We chat about creativity, self-expression, healthy distraction and why, when it comes to mental health awareness, it can be useful to throw people in at the deep end. I stumbled across one of James’ poems in a Portland shopping mall last summer and it really was striking to see the word ‘depression’ in big letters on the wall in the middle of a huge shopping centre. I love anything that takes mental health outside of the usual clinical spaces and it was awesome to chat to James about his work and the impact that he’s having.

Dr Gladys was born in 1920 and grew up in India. She joined Women’s Medical College during the second world war and when she began practising, women couldn’t even have their own bank accounts.

We chat about training during WW2, how that influenced the language used in medicine and how she moved towards a different approach and started to think holistically. We chat about finding purpose, learning to listen, claiming your voice and why grief is something that we do rather than something that happens to us. And we chat about the 5 L’s that underpin Dr Gladys’ approach to a long and fulfilling life. Dr Gladys is also a bestselling author and her latest book ‘The Well-lived Life’ is out now.

1 From being pronounced dead at the side of the road to BBC's The Traitors and the mental struggles in between with Andrew Jenkins 54:25
Welcome to episode 180 with Andrew Jenkins, who is a mental health advocate, speaker and star of the hit BBC series The Traitors. At the age of 21, Andrew was in a car accident that left him pronounced dead at the side of the road. He spent 5 weeks in a coma and when he woke up, was told that he might not recognise his family or be able to walk. The impact that this had on his sense of self, his identity and his life in general would lead to more struggles with mental ill health for the next 20 odd years before Andrew was able to get some help and guidance with his mental state and begin to grieve for the life that he believed he had lost. In this episode I chat to Andrew about his life growing up in Wales before the crash and the immediate aftermath. We chat about the impact that this event had on his mental health and why he suffered in silence for so many years. And we chat about how he got help, got better and how this is driving him to do the work that he does now and the impact that this is all having. Of course, we chat all about The Traitors and about men’s mental health, grief, building self-awareness, how hard it can be to tell your family that you love them but why it’s so, so important. Andrew is a lovely guy who is determined to make a real difference in the mental health space and he’s been doing incredible work since being on the tele earlier this year. It was really lovely to chat to him all about it!

ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์เล่นในภายหลัง ลิสต์ ถูกใจ ที่ถูกใจแล้วWelcome to episode 179 with Tim Owen, Mike Palmer and Andy Airey, who are collectively known as the 3 Dads Walking! Tim, Mike & Andy are 3 dads, bereaved by suicide who have been walking in memory of their daughters, Emily, Beth & Sophie. In 2021 they walked 300 miles between their 3 homes, to highlight the fact that suicide is the biggest killer of young people across the entire UK. In 2022 they set off again, this time walking 600 miles, between the parliaments of the 4 nations, petitioning the Government to make suicide prevention a compulsory part of the school curriculum. They collected over 100,000 signatures for this petition, which prompted a debate in the House of Commons and led to them sitting down with the Prime Minster. Along the way they have raised more than 1 million pounds for PAPYRUS, a UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. This year, they will be undertaking the Walk of Hope, covering 500 miles and visiting newly opened offices of PAPYRUS all over the U.K, many of which have been setup thanks to the dads’ fundraising efforts. They also have a book out any minute now, it’s called Three Dads Walking: 300 Miles of Hope and it’s been written up from diary entries that the dads have been writing throughout their adventures. What The 3 Dads have achieved over the last few years is nothing short of incredible and this episode is both heart breaking and heart walking and everything in between. It was an honour to chat to Tim, Mike and Andy. They speak so openly and warmly and I found our chat incredibly moving but a lot of fun too!

I reached out to Han to invite her back on for a specific conversation. For episode 177 I spoke to Joe Griffin who is a psychologist and co-founder of the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy.

Welcome to episode 177 with Joe Griffin, who is a psychologist and co-founder of the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy. Human Givens is a practical, holistic and scientific approach to therapy that focuses on what individuals need to live mentally healthy and fulfilling lives. It draws on the latest insights from neuroscience and psychological research, and combines this knowledge with proven therapeutic techniques from a wide range of approaches to provide highly effective interventions. Joe has many years of experience in both psychotherapeutic practice and in training psychotherapists and in this episode, I chat to him about how he started working in this field and how this work led to the creation of Human Givens. At the core of the Human Givens framework is the idea that all humans have a set of 9 emotional needs and when these needs aren’t met, it can lead to mental ill health. Joe and I chat about the 9 emotional needs, what they are and what gets in the way of these needs being met. We chat about the cycle of depression, the role of metaphor and storytelling in the healing process and about how sleep ties all this together. If you are interested in exploring the Human Givens further, Joe’s team have provided some resources below: Emotional needs poster Emotional resources poster Information sheet about our approach and training.

She was the first woman to run 100 miles across a frozen Lake in Mongolia, has ran the full length of the Panama Canal, crossed the inhospitable Namib Desert three times, and completed a 1,000-mile off-road version of the classic Land’s End to John O’Groats route in just thirty days. Allie has finished over 200 marathons and ultramarathons in some of the most extreme places in the world and she ran most of them while battling depression and alcoholism. For many years Allie had a dream career in the music industry, working with major record labels and meeting some of the world’s biggest bands. Throughout this time, she was also struggling with mental illness and alcohol addiction and originally started running to help her mental state. Running didn’t save Allie but it started to become a big part of her life. After reaching another crisis point in 2021, she was forced to admit the depth of her problems and start to work on getting better. In this episode I chat to Allie about her relationship with alcohol, how it started, how it helped and how it started to wrong. We chat about her journey to finding running and how it didn’t save but her did give her the time and space to start making sense of her mental health. And we chat about recovery and what it looks like for her, the ultrarunning community, the music industry, some of her incredible running challenges and what it was like to revisit some incredibly dark moments to write her book ‘There is No Wall’. It was awesome to chat to Allie! She has spent so much time working on herself and has an incredible amount of self-awareness, I really took a lot from this episode. You can find out more about all aspects of Allie’s work on her website here: alliebailey.co.uk and you can connect with her on social media @ab_runs. You can connect with me on social media @propermentalpodcast or via www.propermentalpodcast.com . A great way to support the show and spread the word is to rate, review and subscribe on whatever platform you get your podcasts from.
