Podcasts about samaritans uk

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by business owner Al Elliott and Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott. This week, we're joined by Elina Teboul — executive advisor, former Wall Street lawyer, and author of Feminine Intelligence. Elina challenges our assumptions about power, leadership, and success, offering a radical reframe that might just define the future of work. Drawing on years of coaching top leaders, Elina makes the case that intuition, emotional presence, creativity, and connection aren't leadership weaknesses — they're leadership superpowers. And ignoring them? That's what's keeping so many organisations stuck in disconnected, underperforming cultures. This isn't a conversation about gender. It's a call to rebalance.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by business owner Al Elliott and Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott. This week, we're asking a big question: Could well-meaning managers be bullying their teams without even realising it? New research suggests it's not about personality clashes — but broken systems. From underperformance meetings to inconsistent shift scheduling, the way we manage people might be doing more harm than good.

What if our effort to listen well actually interfered with the power of listening itself? What happens when we let go and allow listening to be about presence, depth, and genuine human connection? In this episode, we're joined by James Cook, a learning and development specialist in coaching and team development at a large global organization. With 28 years of experience in fast-moving consumer goods—spanning process development, supply chain, business optimization, and leadership—James has spent his career fostering growth and transformation. An ICF- and EMCC-accredited coach, he's deeply committed to the power of listening, not just in leadership and team development, but also in life's most critical moments. As a volunteer listener for Samaritans UK, he brings a unique perspective on the profound impact of listening in times of crisis. In this conversation, James shares personal stories and insights that have reshaped his understanding of what listening truly is—and how he applies these lessons in his daily work. We explore how deep listening builds stronger teams, fosters real connection, and even transforms lives. Enjoy listening in!   “Listening is something that we shouldn't interrupt. It's there between the two of you.” - James Cook   SUPERPOWER Notes: 02:01 – The Journey to Listening Awareness. James Cook reflects on his personal and professional experiences that led him to recognize the power of listening. 05:00 – The Birth of a New Understanding. How the arrival of his daughter with a rare skin condition opened his eyes to the need for deeper listening. 15:30 – The Impact of Crisis on Listening. Exploring how moments of personal loss drove James to volunteer as a listener for the Samaritans. 21:00 – The Power of Presence. James discusses the importance of being fully present in conversations and the impact it has on connection. 28:00 – The Role of Silence in Listening. Understanding how silence can enhance the listening experience and create deeper connections. 31:00 – Listening as a Leadership Skill. Why developing deep listening skills is essential for leaders to drive meaningful change. 38:00 – Practical Tips for Enhancing Listening Skills. James shares actionable strategies for improving listening in everyday interactions. 44:00 – The Future of Listening in Leadership. A discussion on the evolving role of listening in effective leadership and team dynamics.   Key Takeaways: "Sometimes it's not about what you can do for the other person or how good you are at listening. It's actually the offer you make to people in crisis which is your presence and just being there." - James Cook “...sometimes we see it in business meetings that we're almost going in there with an agenda... waiting to have our turn, to have our say." - James Cook “...space will allow the listening to happen, the listening will happen without me doing anything."- James Cook   Recommended podcast episode:  Oscar Trimboli Full Interview: Getting Personal and Down to Business with Listening: https://listeningalchemy.com/listen-in/oscar-trimboli-full-interview-getting-personal-and-down-to-business-with-listening/  Oscar Trimboli on Listening in Organizations and to Customers: https://listeningalchemy.com/listen-in/oscar-trimboli-on-listening-in-organizations-and-to-customers/    Resources and People Mentioned: Samaritans - A charity organization in the UK that provides a listening service for people in crisis or feeling suicidal.

Hi My loves - this week's episode is a vulnerable and beautiful one. When I was a Freshman in high school at Portage Northern (whilst we lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan), I had a friend, who was in the grade above, she was my double's tennis partner the first year I was on the tennis team and the kindest soul. There was an instant connection and her passing broke so many of our hearts. I felt compelled to tell her story and her Mom was so gracious to give me the time to do so. "Kristina wrote in a 7th grade journal entry: “The only reason I even bother to tell my sad sob story is that someday the public might know what a teenage girl goes through. So as you know nice guys finish last….well it might as well be nice girls finish last, too”. Tragic as our story is to tell and live each day….I feel that there are things to be learned from Kristina's story. –Written in the hopes that no one else might ever have to awaken to a such a blustery snowy morning as we did." By Kristina's Mom: Michelle. To read more about Kristina's story, here is her Mom: Michelle's blog.

What life habits keep our brain healthy? How does our mind respond to trauma? And why does the way we talk about suicide and mental health make such a difference to those who are struggling? We discuss all these topics with neuroscience researcher Dr Daniel Almeida. World Mental Health Day has recently shed a spotlight on our psychological wellbeing. So we decided to republish the sound mental health advice we learnt from our guest Dr Daniel Almeida from episode 255 in October 2021. Daniel has been named one of Forbes 30 under 30 in science. His incredible work as a neuroscience researcher in the Douglas Research Centre at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, involves psychological autopsies to understand the molecular impacts of severe childhood abuse on the brains of individuals who died by suicide. As you can imagine, this episode is full of difficult yet important topics. But what struck us most about Daniel was how upbeat and positive he is about his work and the difference it's making to people's lives. Daniel kindly shares his top 5 healthy brain habits that we can all adopt to improve our mental wellbeing.  If you, or someone you know needs help with their mental health, please use one of the resources in the links below.  Mental Health Support Suicide Prevention Lifeline (US):https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: https://afsp.org/suicide-prevention-resources Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration: National Helpline (US): 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

TRIGGER WARNING This podcast contains discussions about sexual abuse and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised. Join us as we listen to Gilli's harrowing story of sexual abuse in the PBCC, and the subsequent mental health problems he struggled with. The detail with which Gilli describes the feeling of worthlessness resonates with many of us who have escaped the PBCC. The candid and calm manner in which Gilli walks us through these experiences and how he has sought help and managed the impact of them on his life is an inspiration to anyone who has or is struggling with abuse or suicidal thoughts. Gilli's success story shows the impeccable determination and passion we all have used and needed to get back up and take back our lives from the abuse in the PBCC. This is an incredible story for anyone wanting to finally voice the abuse they endured or are currently are enduring.

Rebecca Griffiths is a British author whose books had me staying up way too late…which is always a reliable sign of a great read.Rebecca spoke to me from her home in rural Wales and we chatted about her books, finding confidence in her creativity and her formative life experience that has meant she isn't afraid to go to some difficult places with her writing.This conversation discusses topics of Rebecca's lived experience of abuse when she was a child. As well as some details of the crimes of the killers who feature in her books. And when we recorded the conversation, it was before Rebecca's book The Hidden Child was released and you'll hear us refer to it as The Body on the Moor. The title changed on publication.If you have been affected by anything discussed in this episode you can contact:Lifeline (Australia) 13 11 14 Samaritans (UK) 116 123 More info:10 Rillington Place Murdershttps://metro.co.uk/2016/11/30/chilling-pictures-of-the-real-10-rillington-place-before-it-was-demolished-to-erase-its-gruesome-past-6292178/The Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindleyhttps://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/how-ian-brady-and-myra-hindley-the-moors-murderers-were-caughtYou can follow Rebecca on Twitter @rebeccagriffit7 and GoodreadsYour host is Emily WebbFollow Emily on Twitter https://twitter.com/emilybwebbInstagram https://instagram.com/emilywebbcrimeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@emilywebbcrimeFacebook facebook.com/emily.webb.podcaster.authorWebsite: https://www.emilywebbcrime.com/Emily is the author of:Suburban True Crime: Cases you'll never forget and some you've never heard of Angels of Death: Doctors and Nurses Who Kill See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For this episode we are talking to Dr Fred Moss, a psychiatrist of more than 30 years who is based in California. He's consulted, not only with patients, but with other medical professionals, prisons, nursing homes, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, shelters and more. He also has extensive experience as an expert witness for court cases.Dr Fred calls himself an “un-diagnosing psychiatrist”, or a "recovering psychiatrist" and we'll explore what that means with him in this conversation because has strong views on the traditional psychiatric model and medication. He does not prescribe medication as part of his practice and makes clear his reasons for this. LISTENER NOTE: People take psychiatric medications for a variety of conditions and for varying lengths of time – sometimes indefinitely.  So it is not unusual for some people to consider coming off their medication, especially if they are feeling better or the side effects are making life difficult.  Ultimately the decision to stop taking psychiatric medication is a personal choice involving a process weighing up the risks and benefits for each individual. We would urge anyone considering this to talk with their doctor and treating practitioners as part of that process. Being actively involved in your treatment can make a real difference in your recovery. Talking honestly with your doctor or treating practitioner is a big part of that process. If you discuss your concerns and learn about your options, you are much more likely to come up with a plan that works well for you and for the life you want to create, whether that include the use of medication to manage your symptoms or other means. Dr Fred's practice centres on conversation, communication, creativity and deep human connection as a tool to help people live their best lives possible. Fred says his work and vision, that he's branded WELCOME TO HUMANITY is that each and every person will know that their voice is heard. That who they are and what they do matters.Fred's podcast is called Welcome to Humanity with Dr Fred Moss and it's available on the usual listening platforms.

We live in the age of memes and mass media, so we all know that some ideas are especially contagious. In this episode, we delve into the phenomenon of suicide clusters and the media’s culpability in spawning copycats. Highlights [0:00] Where have all the soundtracks gone? Mark laments the loss of the title banger from eighties and nineties horror movies. [12:25] A reminder to watch Thirteen Ghosts with us on the 22nd of May [join our Discord to take part! https://discord.com/invite/HuBTacyn5Y; we also talk about stuff that’s gone down in the Facebook group, including that strange slot in the back of medicine cabinets, creepy etsy finds, and street creature performance art in Wales. [22:30] We talk about what we’ve been watching, the villain monologue trope, and the joys of singing in the car. [36:20] We discuss suicide clusters and experiences with the suicides of people close to us, and what the media could do to prevent copycats. [1hr13] Mark closes us out on a joke.

NB: If you are feeling overwhelmed and have been having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please seek professional help and do not rely solely on the information in this episode. Some places which may be able to help and support you are: Samaritans (UK tel: 116 123); NHS UK (www.nhs.uk); Mind (www.mind.org.uk). Should you be experiencing bereavement please also reach out to: Cruse Bereavement (www.cruse.org.uk). It's important to remember that you are not alone and you don't not need to go through this alone. Stress can come in all shapes and sizes and it can impact everybody differently. It can be useful to know your own signs of stress so that you can identify when stress may be taking you over. Learning to put in contingency plans for these situations can go a long way to helping lower your stress levels and allowing you to live life on your terms. What are your signs of stress? How could you learn to spot your signs of stress earlier? What are some easy tings you could do when you notice you're stressed? In this episode, I've talked through the top 10 most stressful life events and looked at some ways in which you may wish to try to tackle your own stressors. I'm an advocate for positive mental health and I fully back the work being done by the likes of Pillar Kincardine (www.pillarkincardine.co.uk) here in the North East of Scotland. I know that meditation doesn't work for everybody, if you'd like to try it (or if it works for you!), then don't forget that Episodes 35, 40 and 47 of this very podcast, are all Guided Meditations.

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions around suicide and self harm. Craig fought in one of the bloodiest battles in  Afghanistan, where he lost 10 soldiers within his company and a further 10 to suicide upon returning to the UK. He encountered serious blast injuries and had difficulty adjusting back to 'normal' life. How could anybody else understand what he had just witnessed at war?He then spiraled in to a path of self destruction, which led to drinking, fighting and sadly three attempts of suicide. Craig was then fighting a war on his own mental health and knew he needed to change. So, he turned to sport to give him purpose and meaning again. He competed in Chicago in the Invictus programme and played rugby for the England deaf team.  Craig also runs a veterans charity, who offer support to ex military.Thank you to Craig for sharing his story. You can find him on instagram @monaghan3433 and @veteransgaragePlease see below for phone numbers that could help you, or someone else experiencing suicidal thoughts:Lifeline Australia: 13 11 14Suicide call back service (Australia): 1300 659 467Samaritans (UK): 116 123CALM (UK): 0800 58 58 58 Click here to become a Patron MemberSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/not-so-linear.

Many people have no idea that they're being manipulated, groomed and abused by someone high on the narcissistic spectrum. Sometimes, it takes years - or decades - before they realise. Why wait that long? In this episode, we talk about narcissistic abuse: what it looks like, how it feels and what you can do about it. We explore gaslighting and confusion, the idealise/devalue/discard cycle, triangulation and isolation, and gifts that take away your power and leave you feeling confused and frustrated. And we take a few tangents too. Trigger warning: we discuss different forms of abuse and manipulation in this podcast. If you may be triggered by these topics, please make sure you have support or resources in place before you listen. The opinions we express here are based on subjective personal experience.

Narcissism is in the spotlight this week. What is it, what are some key signs of it and why is it a problem? What does it feel like to be with a narcissist and what are the differences between narcissim, sociopathy and psychopathy? Do people with high narcissistic traits know what they're doing? And, importantly, how do you break free? We share our personal experiences and the opinions of lots of experts. The only question this episode doesn't answer is: is it wrong that we're both so excited to talk about it? Trigger warning: we discuss narcissistic abuse and sexual assault.

My guest this week is Mary Hoang. Mary is the head psychologist and founder of The Indigo Project, Australia's largest and most progressive psychology practice. Working as a psychologist for a youth charity early on in her career, Mary observed the stigma surrounding her profession often prevented young people who needed support from seeking it. Combining a creative approach to psychology, alongside a refreshing willingness to be open with her own struggles, Mary has helped open up the conversation about mental health and wellbeing. Through a combination of 1:1 therapy [including online sessions], workshops, events and online courses, Mary and the team at The Indigo Project help you “get your shit together” In this episode we discuss: -     Why it's import to think creatively about mental health and wellbeing -     How being vulnerable invites deeper connection -     Why it was important to Mary to dismantle any hierarchy between therapist and client -     Holistic approaches to mental health -     Why finding your Purpose isn't as difficult as you think -     The role of music, dance, breathwork and meditation in helping us move from head to heart -     Simple self-care practices that support human flourishing -     How we can access more joy, awe and wonder -     And so much more… Books mentioned during this conversation:  - Lost Connections - Johann Hari - Phosphorescence On Awe, Wonder and Things That Sustain You When the World Goes Dark - Julia Baird Finally, please remember if you're currently going through a challenging time there is always someone you can speak to.

Poorna Bell is an author and journalist who is actively challenging our ingrained beliefs about mental health, loss, and strength. Bell is also a powerlifter and writes about the stereotypes and cultural barriers faced by South Asian women when it comes to sport. In this episode of History Becomes Her, Bell talks about how lifting weights helped her find inner strength after the death of her husband in 2015.

This weeks episode brings a slight change of pace as we discuss an issue that we feel needs talking about more and more... Mental health. Actor / Director Sean Ward sits down with us and tells us that "Not Talking" is overrated, and that people should not be ashamed to talk to their friends, Family or indeed colleagues. Suicide is the biggest killer of young men under the age of 45. Let's break the silence, drop the macho act and share.This chat gets a little dark at times however the boys do keep to their normal witty selves to ensure it's not to tough.If you are struggling then please do talk to someone or call Samaritans (UK) on: 116 123. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode our intrepid podcasters continue to tackle difficult subjects in a awkward and hopefully endearing manner. While there is laughter, this episode of The Art Of Giving Up touches on a very serious subject. There are very few subjects on this planet that can draw a line in the sand like bodily autonomy. The right to do with your body and your life are yours, and no one can or should be able to take that from you. Suicide as a right, the ability to end your life when you choose, is controversial. Why would anyone want to stop living, to end the beauty that is life? Unfortunately for some of us, life is not easy. The appeal of an afterlife or void can seem like blessed relief. Taking your life however should not be the first option. The reality of death is that unlike the possibility of life, there is no taking it back. While a choice that is up to YOU to make I implore you; if you feel the need to end your life, please reach out to a friend or family member. If there are regional resources please take advantage of them. We need to remove the stigma surrounding suicide and self-harm. You are Not Alone. Thinking about Suicide?
