Dr Katia is a licensed clinical psychologist who specialises in pediatric neuropsychology. She evaluates clients ranging from preschool to university students with autism spectrum disorders, learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, and emotional vulnerabilities.

On today’s summer special, I am joined by Dr. Anna Lembke, a Professor of psychiatry at Stanford Univeristy and the best-selling author of Drugdealer, MD and most recently Dopamine Nation. In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain. Most importantly, she tells readers how to find the delicate balance between the two. Today we speak about how we’re living in a time with unprecedented access to high dopamine stimuli such as drugs, food, news and social media. Dr Anna Lembke explains that we’ve all become vulnerable to overconsumption and how we can stop overindulging and ultimately transform our lives.Find Anna:Website: https://www.annalembke.com/Books: https://amzn.eu/d/5hw3qYJFollow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

On today’s Summer special, I am joined by Stefanie Michele, a Certified Coach, Occupational Therapist, Intuitive Eating Counsellor with a background in Human Development and Mental Health Psychology. Perhaps more importantly, she has first hand experience with recovery from 20+ years of body and food disorder. Her disordered eating began when she was a teenager and she then struggled with bulimia, binge-eating disorder and orthorexia well into her 30s. The binge-restrict cycle dominated her life and she lived in fear of gaining weight. However, one day she decided to enlist the support of a coach to help her change her relationship with her body and this began to aid her recovery. Stefanie has now made it her mission to help others reframe their thought patterns, heal their relationship with food and discover an identity outside of food and body image.Find Stefanie: Website: https://www.iamstefaniemichele.com/aboutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamstefaniemichele/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

Peter Tyrer is the Professor of Community Psychiatry in the Centre for Mental Health in the Division of Experimental Medicine. Much of his recent work has been focused around personality disorders. Personality disturbance is very common, not just in psychiatric practice, and this importance has been largely unrecognized as the knowledge around this particular disorder is very poor. Many people feel very strongly about the term personality disorder but it’s a term that is misunderstood by almost everyone and needs to go. In this episode, Peter teaches us about the various different types of personality disorders, why they can be tricky to treat and the big question as to whether we are born with our personality or it’s shaped over time.Find Peter:https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/p.tyrerBuy his book on personality disorders: https://amzn.eu/d/9U7Tg7uFollow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

On today’s summer special we are joined by Professor Fiona McNicholas, a Consultant in child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Her clinical interests are eating disorders and I wanted to take the opportunity today to ask her about the differences between anorexia, bulimia and binge eating and particularly how this disorder impacts children and adolescence. Having suffered from an eating disorder which started when I was 12 years old, I’m always keen to learn more about how treatments are becoming more effective and the impact that early intervention can make. I was pleased to hear that the level of support needed for an eating disorder is now being recognised but I think one of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is that we shouldn’t ignore that parents or close friends watching their children suffer with these disorders may need to be supported too. Find Fiona: https://people.ucd.ie/fiona.mcnicholasFollow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

On today’s Summer Special, I am joined by Dr Ally Jaffee, a junior doctor and the co-founder of Nutritank. Ally is passionate about mental health and its intersection with nutrition and lifestyle which is why she is so keen to educate doctors about them. Ally co-founded a BBC award-winning Social Enterprise called Nutritank. Its mission is to promote greater nutrition and lifestyle medicine within healthcare training due to the staggering increase of chronic disease. Ally also believes strongly in authenticity and shares her own mental health struggles online with the hope of normalising the conversation so I feel like she very much belongs on this podcast!Find Ally:Website: https://www.drallyjaffee.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drallyjaffee/?hl=enNutritank: https://www.nutritank.com/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

On today’s Healing 101, I am joined by Clinical Director & CBT Therapist, Lee Grant, to talk all about men’s sexual health and its impact on mental health. For instance, men suffering from severe depression, the rate of erectile dysfunction may reach up to 90%. But despite the significance and higher incidence of sexual dysfunction in men, most individuals who suffer do not seek help because they are embarrassed. Sexual health definitely still remains taboo and reclaiming it as a fundamental aspect of mental health should be a top priority.Find Lee Grant: https://onebright.com/our-team/clinicians/lee-grant/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

Today I am speaking to Shocka, a Grime artist who rose to prominence as part of the Tottenham trio, Marvell. Shocka has seen the real highs and extreme lows of show business, having seen sudden success and sudden failure, from performing to packed out arena tours alongside famous names such as Skepta to abruptly being dropped by his record company. Shocka has been brutally honest about the consequences on his mental health and struggled when everything came crashing down. He says that ‘the reason why he thinks it all went downhill for him is because he never had a balance of struggle and success and when you don’t have that balance and it starts going downhill then you won’t know how to deal with that.’ He’s had a couple more recent breakdowns, but has recently come to the realisation that most people who suffer from mental health and depression are suffering from low self image and that is something he is trying to change. I am speaking to him today about why he wanted to open up about his mental health battle, his experience of being sectioned and how he has learnt to manage his manic depression. Find Shocka: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shocka_artist/?hl=enTED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/shocka_self_love_is_the_glue_that_puts_us_back_togetherMusic: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/shocka/292902003Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

On today’s HEALING 101, I am speaking to Dr Mario Juruena who received his PhD in Psychiatry at King’s College London and is a Consultant Psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley Trust and the lead consultant for the Maudsley Advanced Treatment Clinic for Recurrent and Resistant Depression and Bipolar. Bipolar disorder is a common, complex and costly mental health disorder, which sits at the heart of the practice of clinical psychiatry. Effective treatments have all been discovered serendipitously but with the huge advances in basic neuroscience, new treatments are now starting to be developed.Find Dr Mario Juruena:Website: https://maudsleylearning.com/dr-mario-f-juruena/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpodA big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.
