About This Podcast
What does emotional health mean to you?
Emotionally Speaking is a podcast focused on finding strategies for living an emotionally healthy life.
Peter Leonard, the Chief Executive of the Centre for Emotional Health asks a range of guests to describe a particular challenge they have faced and to share their coping mechanisms for emotionally challenging experiences - anxiety, stage fright, loneliness, addiction, fatigue, family difficulties and clinical depression.
Their challenges could be ongoing, or in the distant past. Each guest talks reflectively about its impact. As the podcast grows, the emotional toolkit gets bigger with suggestions and advice that might work for you.
Emotional health is related to but different from mental health. Good emotional health can help you manage periods of poor mental health as well as the ups and down of everyday life. So, if you’re interested in living a more emotionally healthy life or want to know more about coping in difficult times, Emotionally Speaking will help you understand your emotions, how you relate to your emotional self, and other people.
