Just listening at lunchtime to Fern Cotton and Bryony Gordon talking about women deciding to stop doing what they think everyone else wants them to do.
Stopping people pleasing to be liked and doing stuff to please ourselves.

Fern Cotton has written 'Likeable' and Bryony Gordon has written 'People Pleaser'
Does this subject chime with you? Have you read either of the books?

It's always great to see Men's Mental Health being spoken about publicly.
I still see less men , than women in my therapy room.
Why do you think that is?
