Happy new year. We've only gone and done another fortysomething minutes of talk about male mental health.This episode: • 2019 and all that. We considered a look back on our favourite albums and movies and shows and things and trends of 2019. But we got bored with it, and talked about what we're worried about and looking forward to in 2020 instead. ----- Get in touch: contact@emotionalcripples.com @emcripples (Twitter) Facebook

It's Christmas time. And, according to Band Aid's spurious claim, there's no need to be afraid. So, here we are to let in light and banish shade during one of the most joyous/stressful times of the year. Just me and Tim this time, giving our tips for sanity retention over the Christmas period. Plus: • A fascinating educational moment where everyone learns about the celestial origins of Christmas. • Some men occasionally clanging scaffolding in the background. Simpsons references: 2. ----- Get

Teenage male mental health. In the final episode of Series One, Andrew engages in a spot of artistically valid nepotism - by interviewing a member of his family. Tommy Lowe is Andrew's son - seventeen at the time of the interview. He talks about the view of mental health among his peers, his experiences with ADHD, and what it's like to grow up in a world where everything is on and everybody is expected to be open and available 24/7. Spoiler: it's surprisingly positive. Also: • Andy has a moan about

Neuro-linguistic programming. It's a controversial approach to personal development and psychotherapy, with plenty of negative, bullshitty connotations. But a lot of people swear by it, including one of the EC co-presenters. So, we talk to NLP practitioner Ben Grassby about what it is, what it isn't, and how it can help with mental health struggles. Also: • Tim has had a conversation with 'a mate' about which male qualities women find attractive and how they relate to male mental health. • Andy is

Therapy. What is it? Why should you seek it? How do you find a good therapist? How do you BE a therapist yourself? So many questions. (Well, four.) This week, we talk to Paul Rose, AKA 'Mr Biffo' (it might be a sex thing). Paul is a TV writer who shares his frustrating, funny and enlightening experience of therapist training. The conversation touches on lots of elements of male mental health and hopefully illustrates why self-reflection is helpful and healthy. Also: • Tim has been crushing his

Autism. Managing mental health is already a daily struggle, but what if you had to do it with the added pressure of a neurodevelopmental disorder? We talk to Matthew Trerise, a support worker who specialises in helping people with behavioural challenges - including autism. Matthew clarifies a few myths about autism/Asperger syndrome and explains how an understanding of the condition relates to wider mental health issues. Also: • Andrew's had a tough week, and shares a unique coping strategy. •

Happiness. What is it? Where does it come from? How do we get more of it? (The concept, not the Todd Solondz film, which is great.) This episode's guest is Dr Dean Burnett: author, neuroscientist, ex-Guardian blogger, stand-up comedian, really lovely Welsh man. In his book The Happy Brain, Dean talks to various people from many walks of life about what makes them happy. We spoke to him in darkest Chorleywood, during his book tour, and discussed the pressures on men, the futility of a search for a

Hypnotherapy. Is it all just swinging watches and unconvincing past-life regression, or does hypnosis have a clinical basis that can help with mental health issues? (Spoiler: yes. Yes, it does.) This episode's guest is clinical hypnotherapist Dr Steve Carey PhD, Head of School at the Academy of Hypnotic Science in Victoria, Australia. Steve offers some sharp insights into why anxiety can feel so profound and crippling, and how to reframe it and take back control. Also: • Tim explains how a mood

The pilot. Episode Zero. In which Tim and I discuss who we are, why we're doing this, and offer embarrassingly desperate pleas for feedback and contact. Also features: • Talking Therapy. A chat with Cognitive Behaviour Therapist Ali Binns on what CBT is and how it can help men modify their behaviour and ease anxiety. • Media Share. Tim recommends an app that can help manage social media compulsion, while I gush about an incredible memoir of depression recovery. Series One coming Autumn 2018. Get in
