Epigenetics and Generational Trauma

I'm getting scientific this week! I'm delving into the world of epigenetics, which is the study of how our behaviours and environment can cause changes that affect the way our genes work. It's a relatively new field, so I called up the wonderful Dr Chloe Wong to give me the latest. Dr Chloe is a senior lecturer in epigenetics and she works at the Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience within King's College London. One of the questions I ask, thanks to a question from you dear listener, is about whether trauma felt by our ancestors can be passed down to us genetically and the answer might not be what you think. You can follow Dr Chloe on Twitter @ChloeCWong and if you're looking for more information on the studies she mentions you can find them here: The EDGI Eating Disorders Genetic Initiative also on Twitter @EDGI_UK The Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study also on Twitter @ERiskstudy The NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre also on Twitter @NIHRMaudsleyBRC and Facebook Please share your thoughts, feelings and feedback on the episode.

Will Young - ‘I like to talk about it because I survived it’

TW: this episode contains discussion of sexual assault and suicide. In many ways, Will Young is the definition of resilience. As a child, he endured physical and psychological abuse at prep school. In his 20s, he found fame on a reality TV show and was forced to be public about his sexuality by a tabloid newspaper, after which he faced years of homophobia. In his 30s, he coped with extensive periods of depression as he struggled to understand his PTSD and tragically lost his twin brother, Rupert, to death by suicide. Now in his 40s, his survival is its own success. And yet, professionally, he has also thrived, selling over 10 million albums worldwide, scooping two Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello along the way. Four of his albums have reached number one. In person, Will is witty, smart and heartbreaking in equal measure. I think this is one of my favourite ever HTF episodes. We talk flunking his A-levels, dropping out of Strictly Come Dancing and relationship failures. Despite once stating he never had confidence in himself as a pop star, Young is about to release his ninth studio album, Light It Up and a new single, Falling Deep, was released last week. As always, I’d LOVE to hear about your failures. Every week, my guest and I choose a selection to read out and answer on our special subscription offering, Failing with Friends. We’ll endeavour to give you advice, wisdom, some laughs and much, much more. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

Complex PTSD

This week I welcome back the excellent Jo Stubley. She's a Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic and an expert on trauma, so I invited her back to talk to me about complex post-traumatic stress disorder. We talk about diagnosis, treatment, some of the problems around the naming of these experiences and of course have a few jokes along the way. During the conversation Jo mentions a paper looking at neurotransmitters and depression. You can read that here. She also talks about the audiobook for 'What Happened to You', by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry, which you can find here. And I mention Pete Walker's book 'Complex PTSD: From Surviving To Thriving' which you can find out more about here. As always, let me know what you think about this episode, or any other.

Grief

Grief is a universal experience, but one that we navigate alone. It's also one of the most-requested topics for me to cover here at the Wellbeing Lab. So, for the final episode of Season 2 I talk with Andy Langford about grief and bereavement. Andy has worked in this field for over twenty years and is the Clinical Director at the charity Cruse. They help people with bereavement support, information and campaigning and you can find out more about their work here. This is a big topic and there are so many more avenues we could have explored, but I'd be delighted to hear what you thought, or to hear your experiences with grief.

Cold Water Swimming

Cold water swimming has exploded in popularity in recent years and many people say taking a chilly dip helps with their mental health, so I thought I'd try it out. Now, I have to come clean and tell you that, although I was swimming outdoors in a lake, my swim wouldn't officially be classed as a cold water swim because the water was actually quite warm... but I still felt many benefits and I squealed when getting into the water. My guest is Simon Kerslake who's the volunteer secretary for the Outdoor Swimming Society. Here are the books he recommends: Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui Waterlog by Roger Deakin Haunts of the Black Masseur by Charles Sprawson The Mindful Art of Wild Swimming by Tessa Wardley The Outdoor Swimmers' Handbook by Kate Rew Please get in touch if you have anything to say about this episode, or any other.

Will Young

In 2001 Will Young was crowned winner of Pop Idol. His debut single ‘Evergreen’ became the fastest selling in UK history and he became a star overnight. After eight albums, three books, award-winning stage shows, and a very popular podcast Will’s star power has not waned, but his personal life is transformed. Now 43, he’s overcome addiction, battled with PTSD, stood up for the rights of others and, in a crushing blow, mourned the death of his brother Rupert. So what does peace mean to Will now? Does he miss the fast pace of pop stardom? And how does he care for himself when things get tough? Gabby and Will are also joined by nutritionist Nicola Moore who explains how rewiring our brains can reset our relationship to food. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dissociative Disorders and Equine Therapy

In this episode I discuss dissociative disorders and equine therapy. Would you put those two topics together? I would! First of all I talk to Emma Jack, who is the Deputy CEO & Deputy Clinical Director at CDS UK. She sheds light on the intricacies of dissociative disorders. Then I trot over to Richmond Park for a conversation with Dr Andreas Liefooghe, a psychologist, psychotherapist and lifelong horseman who runs Operation Centaur in Richmond Park. I got to meet one of the horses Dr Andreas works with as he explained equine therapy. Here are some useful links and resources: These links are for Operation Centaur's social media channels and this is Dr Andreas' book. For further reading, Emma Jack recommends two books: The Truth About Trauma and Dissociation and The Body Keeps the Score. And here's where you can find my new book Be Yourself and Happier.
