Why do we feel responsible for everything? How do I stop seeing everything as my fault?

In the 4th instalment of the Understanding your Emotions podcast we tackle shame and guilt. From watching Love Island to worrying about patients we feel guilt and shame without knowing why, so we ask what it is, and how we can think about it to help our wellbeing.

 Between them Dr Zaid al-Najjar, Ruth Deighton and Simon Lyne have decades of experience treating mental health professionals and have come together to pool their experience of treating healthcare workers into this podcast. They have built a framework for practitioners to understand and process complex emotions and worries in their job and personal lives.

Episode 3 of the Understanding your Emotions podcast covers envy and jealousy, the difference between the two, and how can it affect our relationships with others.

We hope you enjoy this series and take something away that can help your wellbeing.
