About our January issue

The January issue reflects on some of the changes brought about by the pandemic, but it also looks forward with hope.

For example, we explore the treatment of obesity. Is there a compassionate response to obesity that doesn't ignore the health implications, but also doesn't fat-shame clients who struggle with their weight?

We present research on the psychological impact of the pandemic on frontline health workers and mental health professionals. Hopefully, it will encourage those of us in the helping professions to recognise and prioritise the need self-care.

Many of our clients come to therapy because they hope to change. We meet a psychologist who has identified a series of ‘mind switches’ that could make change more likely and we talk to a CBT therapist who also practises hypnotherapy.
