Don't Ignore the Elephant | Maggie Hope: Therapy, Counselling and Self-Care

So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer

This week’s guest is Maggie Hope. She’s a Psychotherapist and Counsellor and she’s come on to talk to me all about therapy. What is it? How do you know if you need it? What to expect when you have it?

I’ve needed therapy at several times of my life, and I was ashamed to tell people about it. We talk about the importance of removing the stigma from therapy, and how to talk to our friends and family about what we’ve discussed in a session.

We also talk about self-care, and what it really means. I loved Maggie’s take on this and would love to know what you think.
