A mush and a push and you have a mind control device... we are full of great advice on this podcast.
We talk about the biggest ending of all time.....death ! yep we went there and we don't even care. If you'd like to know about death have a listen and you will be completely aware of this, quite interesting experience.
In this episode we used a random word generator to help us along with the conversation... little did we know what journey this would take us on...come along with us and enjoy the ride.
Just a natter over coffee (not tea cos it's s**t). We talk about our good friends David Wind and Simon fire, about what earth therapy might be like and delve into one of David's sessions to see what it looks like.

Rich and Alan
We spend some time talking to a senior researcher in a local mental health trauma focused service about heart rate variability (HRV) and how this clever physiological marker can open up a world of understanding around how stress manifests in the body and how we can better understand the mind and body connection.
Enjoy Guys
Today we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with an old colleague and mindfulness expert Robert Hawkes. Rob has over 30 years experience working on mental health, firstly as an Occupational Therapist and now as a private therapist. Rob is trained in CBT, EMDR, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness based therapies.
We talked with Rob about the current pandemic and how using mindfulness based practice can help us both understand and overcome the anxieties that often come with sudden life changes
Sit back, put a brew on and mindfully listen guys !
In this months episode we talked to Chloe from CVFM radio about our day jobs as mental health nurses, the podcast and our consultancy business. We covered loads around stigma, the effect COVID has had on our services and the people we work with and how we always try to have a positive mindset with the people we work with
Enjoy !
In this months episode we let our minds wander into realms of the imagination. The concept of meditation is to become familiar with the mind and bring it back to the focus of the breath . So that’s what we done . Enjoy the inner workings of our wandering minds and embrace the power of imagination
in this weeks podcast we talk about some weird concepts around consciousness and how personal failures and insights lead to growth in our lives, which inevitably lead to a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
happy listening people especially Barbara.
In this weeks episode we look at the current coronavirus pandemic and give our views on how the country is dealing with something we are all a little bit confused about. We also talk about how stigma in mental health both impacts how people deal with their own mental health issues as well as how others react to them. Alongside this Alan talks us through his rather interesting experience in a floatation tank.
