Meeting up with old friends – are some friends only destined to be seen once a year? Kate's been watching brilliant TV from Small Prophets to Lord of the Flies. And Gwen's been binging a fascinating limited-podcast series exploring the real Salt Path story.  And we're still looking for suggestions for our very own limited series pod.

    RUMP Rewind – Ep.62 - Attachment Theory: How better understanding our attachment style can transform our relationships | Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike

    Old fave – new intro! Therapists Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike joined us last Jan for a brilliant chat about Attachment Theory.  We dive into what it means to feel securely attached and what it’s like when you don’t. They break down how we form and manage attachments in all kinds of relationships – whether it’s with a partner, family, or friends. And how, by understanding our own attachment style, we can improve these connections and make a huge difference to our overall well-being. You can also join Gwen and Kate as they try (with varying degrees of success) to connect with their inner child. Sarah and Helene specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy. You can find out more about this, as well as find registered therapists, at the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre. Find out more about Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike. To journal on the 12 Questions that Gwen asks Kate in the intro, visit Beth Kempton's Substack post. Find out more!

    The RUMPette 41 – Social Clangers Left, Right & Centre!

    We’re back! And this week we’re mostly discussing all the ways we (and everyone else) commit right ol’ faux pas on WhatsApp. Is it OK to video call someone without arranging it first? Can you add someone to a group without asking their permission? We want to know what you think, too. We also chat Heated Rivalry and Hamnet – when cinema becomes therapy. And Kate has finally succumbed to Traitors.  Plus, how good journalling can make us feel when we need to reconnect to ourselves. And a brilliant journalling exercise to bring us right back into the present. Plus a RUMP update for the new year. Find out more!

    RUMP Rewind – Ep.53 - The Importance of Rest: Why our brains need it | Claudia Hammond

    Old fave, new intro! In Season 7, we talked to psychologist and award-winning BBC broadcaster Claudia Hammond about the importance of rest. Claudia shares with us why it's so important to our health that we regularly have guilt free rest, what's happening in our brains when we rest... and when we don't. And why we all need to take it more seriously. Her book The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research that Claudia collaborated on –The Rest Test – the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, across 135 different countries.  Claudia Hammond is a broadcaster, author and psychology lecturer. She is the presenter of All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 which covers psychology, neuroscience & mental health. Plus, the weekly global health show Health Check on BBC World Service.

    The RUMPette 40 – Microdosing Mindfulness

    Holiday mode has hit early for Gwen and Kate, who bounce between life’s tiny joys (like micro-meditation while the kettle boils) and the big stuff — like why Christmas now turns up every three weeks once you’ve had 50 of them. They ponder whether Secret Santa could save family gifting, if 47 is too old to start long-boarding (it isn’t), and how couples with different bedtimes ever make it work. They even wonder if they can be better humans than just “women who talk about Netflix.” What hobby have you taken up later in life?
