We also discuss Soph Talks and the positive impact it’s had on her authors and her own mental health in educating her about issues she hadn’t previously known about. We then have a discussion about sexual violence against women, the awareness campaigns currently out there and why they need to be much better than they currently are. For Sophie’s mental health, we discuss her experience of anxiety and panic attacks she has lived with in her teenage and adult years, why doing CBT wasn’t helpful for her and the grief she experienced losing her uncle a couple of years ago.As always, #itsokaytoventVisit Soph Talks here: https://www.sophtalks.co.uk/You can follow Sophie on social media below: Twitter: https://twitter.com/sophielmarshSupport Us:Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpukGoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-vent-supp…ir-mental-healthMusic: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvkSupport Us:PatreonPayPalMerchandise
