The Confidence Clinic Season 2, Episode 6: Dr. Becky Spelman We hear it all the time - mental health is SO important! And who better than Dr. Becky Spelman to sit down with and chat through some key concepts and experiences that mark our day-to-day psychological and emotional lives?

Words like ADHD, social anxiety, trauma, PTSD, shame are thrown around on the daily in our social circles, both online and in person. But do we really understand them? And what benefits do we get from knowing these terms?

Sharing her 20+ experience as a worldwide renowned psychologist and founder of her own practice ‘The Private Therapy’, Dr. Becky doesn’t shy away from getting personal and talking all things trauma, coping mechanisms and finding the secret ingredient to psychological ease and a fulfilling life. With vulnerability and clarity, she reflects back on her life story sharing some of the tumultuous moments that have led her to become the insightful, compassionate and self-aware person - and distinguished professional - she is now.

Yes, because while standard practice promotes a distance between therapists and clients, Becky believes that at times it’s more beneficial to just be ‘real’. After all, we’re all just one ‘I’ve also been through that’ away from building a bridge of empathy with those around us who are likely experiencing very similar feelings and situations. With this spirit, in our heartfelt chat, she generously offers crucial anecdotes from her life as a motivational tale to empower oneself to take charge of your mental health, confront difficult life situations, feel and name all of our feelings… And for someone who went from struggling with ADHD and being expelled from school to earning a PHD at age 25, someone who went from being hostage to debilitating anxiety disorder due to severe trauma to featuring as the go-to expert on TV, we may learn a couple of things or two.

So tune in and join us in this safe space, where we share, reflect, make connections and above all get real. I promise it’ll be a truly enriching and emotional listen!
