Therapy. What is it? Why should you seek it? How do you find a good therapist? How do you BE a therapist yourself? So many questions. (Well, four.) This week, we talk to Paul Rose, AKA 'Mr Biffo' (it might be a sex thing). Paul is a TV writer who shares his frustrating, funny and enlightening experience of therapist training. The conversation touches on lots of elements of male mental health and hopefully illustrates why self-reflection is helpful and healthy. Also: • Tim has been crushing his overwhelm with an elegant offline productivity tool. • Andy has been listening to a band who write songs about male mental health. Simpsons references: 0. (We need to fix this. Maybe do a Simpsons Special soon.) ----- Get in touch: contact@emotionalcripples.com @emcripples (Twitter) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1707014319375624/ ----- Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/ Call 116 123 (UK and ROI) Befrienders: https://www.befrienders.org/ CALM – the Campaign Against Living Miserably: https://www.thecalmzone.net/ ----- SHOW NOTES MUSIC The Weathermonger - 'Fourier' The Weathermonger - 'Through The Honeycomb Window' https://soundcloud.com/theweathermonger https://open.spotify.com/artist/11QnHi5wotoXtx2O4uF8ny?si=TWAYe_bzS9-q9le35nVFZA Seasonal Affective Disorder - https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/seasonal-affective-disorder-sad/#.W_e-HCGnyaM Ryder Carroll & The Bullet Journal Method - https://bulletjournal.com/ IDLES - https://www.idlesband.com/ Paul Rose/Digitiser https://www.digitiser2000.com/ Therapy training - https://www.bacp.co.uk/careers/careers-in-counselling/training/ Finding a good therapist https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/freudian-sip/201102/how-find-the-best-therapist-you?amp Chess for mental health - https://www.psychreg.org/chess-mental-health/ How Not To Be A Boy - Robert Webb https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-not-to-be-a-boy/robert-webb/9781786890115 Men and crying https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/minority-report/201601/real-men-cry?amp Dan Savage https://theoutline.com/post/2552/dan-savage-very-intriguing-person-essay?zd=1&zi=vmzyum6r
