    Vulnerability, Victimhood and The Polarised Society

    This episode was inspired by a post I saw recently, in which a well-known author discussed the problem with people who claimed to be victims.

    Let It Out (Tips for expressing negative emotions)

    In this week's episode, we explore the benefits of expressing your emotions and offer a variety of tools to do this productively. Suppressing negative emotions (pretending they don't exist) uses extra mental energy, which could be better directed towards pursuing meaningful goals and enjoying positive experiences.After a little 'planned breakdown' while taking a nice long drive, this seemed like the perfect episode for this week's show.
