Published through Ingram and available through Amazon and all major booksellers, the book is written for anyone looking to re-evaluate or improve their intimate relationship and it's full of practical wisdom and concepts gleaned from the many years of work that Matt has undertaken alongside his wife Rebeca supporting couples and individuals to have relationships that really serve them. “The book is partly autobiographical in that it reveals some of the challenges that I went through in making sense of the toxic relationship that I found myself in. It took time to make sense of that and the support, mentoring and coaching that I had through that process was truly life changing.” Matt explains. Matt is joined today by Rhys Thomas who is a keynote speaker and mental health advocate and who is going to be joining the launch event for the book.

In today's episode, I am joined by Rhys Thomas, a former International Rugby Player, Inspirational Speaker, Mental Health Ambassador, Mentor, and Charity Co-Founder. He details his extraordinary life journey, sharing the profound lessons he has learned from facing adversity and rebuilding his life after a life-altering event.Rhys takes us back to the early 2000s, where he had a thriving international sports career as a capped Welsh rugby player. His sporting career was on an upward trajectory until he suffered a massive heart attack during training. This event marked the beginning of a transformative journey that would redefine his identity.The heart attack left Rhys with irreparable damage, leading to retirement from professional sport, and  to the installation of an LVAD pump—a mechanical heart. Struggling with his new reality, Rhys turned to destructive behaviours, including heavy drinking. His mental health rapidly deteriorated as he grappled with the loss of identity that came with the end of his athletic career.Rhys discusses his experiences in rehab as a turning point in his life. The non-judgmental space provided an opportunity for self-realisation, allowing him to cope with accumulated shame, guilt, and sadness. In this safe environment, Rhys learned the power of vulnerability, gaining clarity, reconnecting with his values, and ultimately finding peace within himself.With a newfound sense of authenticity and purpose, Rhys details his post-rehab journey. He shares how he translated his adverse experiences into lessons and developmental opportunities.

Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a rare, severe, and progressive childhood-onset epilepsy characterised by recurrent seizures. LGS can be challenging to diagnose due to multiple aetiologies, varying clinical presentation at onset, and a lack of specific biological markers. These challenges can be compounded in adulthood due to the evolving presentation of LGS over time, and incomplete medical histories. In this insightful podcast, experts Steve Chung, University of Arizona, Phoenix, USA; and Rhys Thomas, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, UK, explore the identification, diagnosis, and management of LGS in both children and adults based on their experiences in real-life clinical settings.

Welcome to The Post Rugby Podcast my guest today Rhys Thomas. Rhys is a former Professional Rugby Player and Welsh international now inspirational speaker, breathwork practitioner and charity co founder. In this episode Rhys describes his journey in professional rugby and the very sudden ending to his career with an almost life ending heart attack. We discuss the impact of this on his life and how it led him down a path of destruction as he struggled to adapt to life with the sudden loss of identity as well as the physical restrictions it placed on him. This path then led him to hit rock bottom and have an intervention to seek help overcoming his alcohol addiction and turn his life around. He shares how this opportunity to be vulnerable and to share his struggles kick started his journey to self enquiry and later becoming a breathwork coach and inspirational speaker as well as starting his charity Tidy Butt which aims to help people with tools to help them manage their mental health.

Rhys shares with us his amazing recovering journey from becoming disabled at 29 and how he navigated these physical and emotional challenges, how he overcame this dark period in his life and is now a helping others who face similar challenges in the work he does today. (Recorded on April 20, 2023)About Rhys:Rhys Thomas was a professional Welsh rugby player until his career was cut short by a life changing injury at the age of 29. After suffering a heart attack and undergoing a quadruple bypass and multiple operations, Rhys eventually was fitted with a pump that currently helps run his heart (LVAD). From losing his career, identity, relationships, not dealing with his emotions and feelings which led him to alcoholism and many dark places, Rhys went into rehab and sought support in which he has since sobered up and turned his life around sharing his story, breaking stigmas, supporting and mentoring others to maximize their own potential.

Can we all agree that the date of August 20, 2015 should be enshrined as one of the most important in the history of documentary? In case you've forgotten, that's the date that “Documentary Now!” burst on the scene with the airing of its first episode: “Sandy Passage”, an unforgettable debut starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader parodying the Maysles' classic documentary “Grey Gardens”. Somehow, this crew of on and off-camera SNL talent (the show's co-creators are Armisen, Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas) managed to pull off the not-so-small miracle of parodying the high priests and priestesses of documentary in half-hour masterpieces and, just as miraculously, found a network to actually air the program (IFC, for the record). Fast forward seven years and “Documentary Now!” has just premiered its first episodes of season 4 (actually, season 53 in the bizarre-o world of “Doc Now!”). Seth, Rhys and Alex Buono (who directs with Rhys and is also the show's cinematographer) took time away from whatever else they were doing to join Mike and Ken on Top Docs and talk about the collective creative genius (our words, as they are far too modest) behind this unique show. Stay tuned for answers to such questions as: “Why did it take until season 4 (er, 53) to parody the highly imitable Werner Herzog and Les Blank's portrait of him, “Burden of Dreams”? How did the team find itself on a remote Welsh mountainside trying to build a sitcom set as howling winds threatened to blow the whole thing to smithereens? And what do you say to Cate Blanchett when she asks, “Is it OK if I wear giant Coke bottle glasses?” Join us as we peal back the layers on the show that dances on the line between the sublime and the ridiculous while never straying from its love of documentary. To paraphrase the show's host, the immortal Helen Mirren, “I give you ‘Documentary Now!'” Documentary Now! season 4 episodes discussed in this podcast include: “Soldier of Illusion” (written by John Mulaney) (parts 1 and 2), “Two Hairdressers in Bagglyport” (written by Seth Meyers), and “How They Threw Rocks” (written by Seth Meyers) Documentary Now! can be seen on IFC and streaming on AMC+.   Follow on twitter: @DocumentaryNow @sethmeyers @AlexBuono @RhysThom2 @topdocspod   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

On this episode of Ask Christian Counseling Associates, join Dr. Rich Hoffman and special guest Rhys Thomas, from Electromedical Products International, as they discuss the issues surrounding treatment using psychiatric medication.
