This is a paid advertisement from BetterHelp. Sam, is there ever a time in life when you know

what's good for you, but your brain takes over and stops you from doing what you should be doing?

Yeah, all the time. I mean, this is something I've wrestled with for years. Recently,

my son had started secondary school and he was getting on fine, coming back happy every night,

and yet nevertheless, I was worried anyway. There was no apparent reason to be worried. He hadn't

shown any signs or said anything, and yet it's just one of those things. I'd wear myself up

about it. Yeah. Of course, I see a therapist and I actually did speak to them about it and it

helped me get on top of it. Yeah. As soon as you start sharing it, solutions start to flow.

I always have a thing where if I've got to like get up early and do something,

let's do it. And I know I need to get a good night's sleep. My brain just goes,

no one's sleeping tonight. Yeah, yeah. We're going to be up all night dancing. Yeah.

But like you said, therapy therapy is really good. How do you figure out what's holding your back?

You can work for yourself instead of against yourself. Yeah. And that's why we advocate better

help with over 1,000 therapists in the UK. Already better help can provide access to mental health

professionals with a wide variety of expertise in mental health. And our listeners get 10% off

thank everybody that said lovely things about us on Twitter over the weekend.
