ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the solution to your pain is in the pain you've been trying to avoid?
James Scurry is a psychotherapist, journalist, and co-founder of the charity Safely Held Spaces.
In this episode, we chat about: why depression and anxiety might actually be pointing you somewhere important, how to find hope when you're struggling, why seeing a therapist isn't the only way to heal, and how agreeing to feel the pain is the first step to moving through it.
