HWOM with Matt Ford. Male vulnerability and displacement.

Stu and Phil are joined by Matt to discuss male vulnerability. Having spent most of his working life living abroad a looming lockdown in Prague had Matt de-worming his dog and driving through Europe in a race to beat closing borders.  On returning to the UK Matt faced the prospect of having to live in friends spare rooms and the worries that come with this. Lockdown took its toll on Matt's mental health in a way it did with many people . Thankfully Matt reached out when he realised he was struggling and put processes in place to regain control of his situation. Throughout the chat both Matt and Phil offer wonderful insights into mind frames and processes to combat negative thoughts. Stu poses some questions with addiction recovery in mind and the podcast ends with a look at how simplifying life can ultimately allow you to value what is most important. links: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/teresas-walk-all-over-cancer-giving-page-24-1 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/HWOM
