This episode we talk to Dr Colman Noctor, well known Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Lecturer and Columnist. He talks about his new Book “The 4-7 Zone” which asks us to look at why we need to be at either extreme. Colman points out that being comfortable with the middle is the healthiest and best outlook in many situations.

We talk about the impact of Social Media but Colman also says that Parental pressure is a big factor, we discuss ways that this might be countered. Colman says that the most powerful idea we can use is “Cop On” or Emotional Intelligence.

There are six things we should examine in ourselves including Biology, Psychology and Socialising. The book gives us techniques and case studies to help us, literally, re-centre our outlook and self worth.

We talk about whether there is space in Sports for casual and fun adolescent participation rather than escalating competition.

We finish by talking about music and I found out that Colman plays an instrument and how he remakes “dance” songs in his own style. And finally Colman plays out on a classic song.
