Summary
Following on from last week's extended episode about therapy... here is Part Two!
Today Vic and Hamish want to focus on reaching out for help. They’ll share what happens in a therapy session and why it can help you move on from bad habits. Now, this isn’t going to be easy because of course all practitioners do things differently but what they will try to do, in their very own awkward way, is to uncover why finding the right person could be the key to a long sober life, how having patience is a must and find out why men in particular find it hard to reach out.
They hope by the end of this episode you'll decide to reach out and find someone to chat to. Sober Awkward wants to give you the confidence to pick up the phone, or fill in that online form and stop putting it off. Todays the day that you decide to stop failing to solve all your problems by yourself..... and start accepting some support because not only will you feel better – everyone around you will benefit too.
They also have a chat about relationships, wearing bonnets and sticking fruit and vegetables up bottoms. It's riveting stuff!
