Counselling: Exploring Fear and Sadness

Synopsis: What happens when someone is overwhelmed by feelings of fear or sadness?
Trisha Goddard and Stephen Fry share their experiences of anxiety and depression. Interviews look at the role of talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychotherapy and counselling, and approaches such as exercise and self reflection. The programme looks at how these approaches can help those living with anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, breakdowns and manic depression.

The DVD also explores issues such as whether it helps to have a diagnosis, how people brave the potential stigma of being open about their crises and the benefits and drawbacks of medication. Role plays offer a glimpse into what happens in counselling and counsellors reflect on their own experience.
