How to beat stress, build resilience and the lowdown on collagen with Dr Sam Akbar

I’m joined by clinical psychologist, trauma expert and author, Dr Sam Akbar. From understanding how your brain works and challenging your thought-processes to having more self-compassion, Sam’s work centres around providing sensitive and realistic guidance and tools to feel calmer, less stressed, and more resilient to life challenges.
We discuss:

How to find psychological flourishing

Why your thoughts are not the boss of you

How to change your relationship with your thoughts

Exercises to cultivate self-awareness

How to beat stress &amp; build resilience

The importance of living life in line your values

Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we’re looking at collagen supplements.
