Summary
Hello, again! Welcome back to Dial Emma and to a new mini-series: all about reframes.
Before I bring in the voices of my lovely listeners to explore this theme, I wanted to start somewhere personal - because reframes have shaped almost everything in my life, professionally, therapeutically, and in the very particular chaos of the last few years. And if I'm going to ask you to go there, it felt only right that I go first.
This isn't a polished story with a tidy conclusion. It's a real account of how perspective has shifted for me - sometimes gently, sometimes with a force I didn't see coming.
I talk about how I ended up in therapy, retraining as a therapist, navigating the COVID pandemic and, of course, my personal reframes: divorce, single parenting, losing my mother to Alzheimer's, perimenopause and a diagnosis of autism.
Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.

| 1:02.0 | You've come to the right place. Hello and welcome to this week's episode of Dilemma, and we have another mini-series. |
| 1:13.6 | But before I start this mini-series, I thought it was any right that I share some of my experience of this particular theme. And the theme is refraimes. This felt like the right next chapter for Dialema because so many of your |
| 1:22.7 | comments, thank you always for your comments. The engagement means so much to me. And I think actually |
| 1:28.4 | really supports exactly what we're trying to do as a community of, well, listeners of dilemma |
| 1:35.6 | and certainly from my perspective, which is to have conversations about universal issues in a way |
| 1:43.6 | that we can understand them slightly differently, perhaps even |
| 1:47.2 | slightly differently to what else is available at the moment, because this one about |
| 1:51.7 | reframes comes up a lot in your comments. It's about the way that this podcast seeks to |
| 1:58.5 | not polish a situation or find a solution or bring that toxic positivity that's so dangerous and misinforming. |
| 2:13.3 | This podcast is about, well, I suppose radical reality and the idea that we aren't here to avoid dilemmas. |
| 2:25.0 | We're here to live with them, alongside them, through them, with the hope, I suppose, of, yeah, coming out the other side, not different, |
| 2:39.1 | not better, but maybe more clear-sighted, maybe with a wider view of the world, something that |
