このコンテンツについて

 Second Helpings isn’t just for people who avoid carbs and drink charcoal. But if you miss the taste of midnight pizza and want to start living your best life, welcome — you’re in the right place. Shortlisted for the Independent Podcast Awards 2025, Second Helpings is an honest, darkly funny conversation about eating disorder recovery, mental health, and the pop culture that shapes how we see ourselves. From Normal People to Taylor Swift, #girldinner to the latest wellness trends, your hosts unpack the culture and stories we love — and the stories we tell ourselves. One host is a clinical psychologist. The other is a writer who once skipped dessert because she thought it was a waste of calories. Together, they get real about recovery, body image, addiction, modern dating, and why “manifestation” still isn’t a substitute for therapy (sorry, TikTok). Expect unscripted conversations, sharp humour, and two hosts who bring fresh perspectives on life in your late twenties. New episodes of Second Helpings drop bi-weekly.© 2024 Second Helpings 心理学 心理学・心の健康 衛生・健康的な生活

  • Normal People: Toxic relationships, eating disorders, and knowing when it's time to move on

    Normal People: Toxic relationships, eating disorders, and knowing when it's time to move on
    2025/12/19
    Skip to 25:00 for discussion of the book! In this episode, Alice and Maria discuss Sally Rooney’s Normal People and unpack why its portrayal of young love feels so intimate, unsettling, and painfully familiar. What makes Connell and Marianne’s relationship so compelling — and so damaging? And why do stories about first love so often blur the line between connection and self-erasure? In this episode, we discuss: Young love and toxic relationships, eating disorders and control as coping mechanisms As always, we approach these themes through a recovery lens — asking how stories like Normal People can both validate lived experiences and quietly reinforce harmful ideas about love, suffering, and worth. We reflect on what it means to grow beyond relationships that once felt essential, and how tenderness doesn’t have to come at the cost of selfhood. If you’re struggling with an eating disorder or supporting someone who is, the following organisations offer resources and help: UK — Beat Eating Disorders USA — National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) Follow Alice and Maria!

  • The Fate of Ophelia: Taylor Swift, tragic heroines, and the myth of romantic salvation

    The Fate of Ophelia: Taylor Swift, tragic heroines, and the myth of romantic salvation
    2025/12/04
    In our Season 2 premiere, we unpack Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” and explore how the song reframes one of literature’s most famous tragedies. Why do we keep returning to the image of the doomed woman in love? And what does it mean when pop culture tells us — again and again — that romance is the cure for our deepest wounds? In this episode, we discuss: – Romantic love as a supposed saviour – Ophelia as the quintessential tragic heroine – How Swift’s new era reshapes melancholy, agency, and self-worth – The album’s broader themes of grounding and recovery – Allusions to Midnights and Swift’s ongoing narrative evolution – Substance abuse, self-destruction, and why vulnerability in art matters As always, we approach these themes through a recovery lens — looking at how storytelling can either reinforce old patterns or open up new ways of understanding ourselves.
