Susannah Constantine - Therapy Works

Susannah Constantine is a former TV fashion guru (one half of the eponymous What Not To Wear duo), TV presenter and author. This conversation is full of therapeutic light bulb moments where Susannah begins to see something familiar in a new way. As you also might expect like anything with Susannah, it’s also full of laughter, wisdom and humanity.
Topics we discuss include:
- What we inherit from our parents.The difficulty of ‘putting on a show’ and how it blocks you from truly knowing yourself.
- How fear can hide behind a bravado and that sometimes the fear needs to be anaesthetised because it isn’t faced.
- The journey to recovery from alcoholism.
- The harm that lies do to us personally and how they start to create disconnection with others.
- The challenge of talking honestly to our children, wanting to both protect them from ‘our own stuff’ and also protect ourselves from their judgement - but it only builds up the walls between us.
