In one way or another, we all carry trauma - big or little - and it can manifest as anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, overeating, addiction, depression...and the list goes on. Yet, so many of us are unaware how stuck we are in the cycle of reactions and patterns that stem from these past traumas. Think about it: have you experienced a destructive relationship? How does that impact your behaviour in your current one? Do you get lost in muddy feelings of hurt and pain which result in toxic relationship habits? Dr Sarah Woodhouse is a trauma expert, research psychologist, author, and coach dedicated to empowering people to break free from trauma and create the life they want. Her new book, You’re Not Broken, empowers people to recognise their trauma - and heal - for more fulfilling relationships (and life). Dr Woodhouse wants trauma to be understood like anxiety is today, so in this episode she explains how we’ve all experienced it at some point in our lives. For most of us, it will be the smaller, everyday hiccups in relationships that can lead to us feeling overwhelmed, threatened and out of control. She shares her tips for dealing, breaking free and, in turn, how taking responsibility for your reactions will transform your relationships. WANT MORE FROM DR SARAH WOODHOUSE?

Narcissists: we all know one, have worked for one, shared a house with one or dated one - a person whose presence is powerfully and destructively isolating. Who work hard to appear strong, but mask a fragile self. Who suck the oxygen out of the room and energy out of you. You know it. Maggie Hamilton is Sydney-based author, social researcher and media commentator. She’s written a bunch of books including What Men Don’t Talk About, and her new book, When We Become Strangers, explores our increasing social isolation from our families and communities. You see, Maggie is worried, very worried, that our “all about me” society - coupled with social media - has seen an exponential growth in narcissistic behaviour which is fueling our loneliness epidemic. In this episode, she talks about how living in a narcissist world is increasing our feelings of feeling disconnected and alone, and what we can do about it. WANT MORE FROM MAGGIE HAMILTON?

Next time you’re in a funk, perhaps take a look at what you’ve eaten that day, week or month. Yes, it’s really that simple: what you eat triggers certain areas of your brain which in turn affects your mood.

Susie Burrell is one of Australia’s leading dietitians and holds a masters degree in Coaching Psychology so she’s got a unique background in both nutrition and psychology. The mum of twin boys is the resident dietitian on Sunrise, columnist for the Daily Telegraph, and has just teamed up with Lean Cuisine to develop its new range.
