Welcome to episode 178 with Hannah Phillips, who is a mother, a runner, a writer, speaker and trainee psychotherapist.

Han is a returning guest and first appeared on Proper Mental back at episode 110.

In that episode we covered her early experiences with OCD, her relationship with alcohol, getting sober and hitting crisis point shortly after.

I reached out to Han to invite her back on for a specific conversation.

For episode 177 I spoke to Joe Griffin who is a psychologist and co-founder of the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy. I was a wonderful conversation and I was very taken both with Joe and the approach to therapy that he co-created.

I wanted to chat to someone who has worked with Human Givens as a therapist and someone who has experienced the other side and received this type of therapy.

Hannah Phillips is both. After coming within hours of taking her own life, Han was referred to a Human Givens therapist and she credits these sessions with both saving, then changing her life. After getting back on her feet, she began training to be a Human Given therapist.

In this episode Hannah and I chat about the therapy that she received and how it helped. We chat about the courses she has been doing and how she is implementing everything that she’s been learning.

We also chat about the work she is doing around men’s mental health in her local community and her upcoming ultramarathon.

Hannah is one of my favourite people and a constant source of inspiration for me. It was wonderful to have her back on the podcast!
