Really pleased to have had this fascinating conversation with Annalisa. She writes the dilemma column ‘Ask Annalisa’ in the Guardian, one of the UK’s national newspapers and also now hosts a very successful podcast ‘Conversations with Annalisa Barbieri’, in which she speaks with therapists and psychiatrists about a whole range of psychological issues.
Amongst many interesting subjects we cover:
- how Annalisa began working on her column
- how she chooses the letters
- writing her new book with all the things she’s learned from the column
- why she began her podcast
- how her own childhood experiences have affected her throughout life
-reflections on her parents and her own parenting
-the importance of connections and relationships generally
- the benefits of therapy and her own experiences of it
- her thoughts on the current state of the media and how she approaches social media herself
