Minnie Driver on loss and finding her way back to herself

“Life is an oscillation between being very hard and very good.”

In this first ever episode of Therapy Works, Julia Samuel is joined by Minnie Driver who touches on some fundamental challenges we all face in life and gives a fascinating insight in how to manage them.

In this conversation we explore: 

• What we inherit from our parents and how that can impact our choices and outcomes
• How we can learn to live with our wounds but can never erase them
• How the loss of Minnie’s beloved mother has changed her outlook towards life
• The crucial importance of hope and how that tiny flicker of light that can help us survive when we feel we can’t
