S2 Episode Three
Happy new year. We've only gone and done another fortysomething minutes of talk about male mental health. This episode: • 2019 and all that. We considered a look back on our favourite albums and movies and shows and things and trends of 2019. But we got bored with it, and talked about what we're worried about and looking forward to in 2020 instead. ----- Get in touch: contact@emotionalcripples.com @emcripples (Twitter) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1707014319375624/ ----- Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/ Call 116 123 (UK and ROI) Befrienders: https://www.befrienders.org/ CALM – the Campaign Against Living Miserably: https://www.thecalmzone.net/ ----- SHOW NOTES MUSIC The Weathermonger - 'Fourier' The Weathermonger - 'Through The Honeycomb Window' https://soundcloud.com/theweathermonger https://open.spotify.com/artist/11QnHi5wotoXtx2O4uF8ny?si=TWAYe_bzS9-q9le35nVFZA Chase The Rainbow: https://www.simonandschuster.co.uk/books/Chase-the-Rainbow/Poorna-Bell/9781471160721 The Bob Dylan film Tim goes on about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Thunder_Revue:_A_Bob_Dylan_Story_by_Martin_Scorsese Julian Baggini - The Ego Trick: https://www.microphilosophy.net/the-ego-trick/ The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enigma_of_Kaspar_Hauser Derren Brown - Happy: https://www.waterstones.com/book/happy/derren-brown/9780552172356 Brian & Roger: https://play.acast.com/s/brianandroger

S2 Episode Two
Hello, it's us again. Two middle-aged British men talking about their mental health struggles: solidarity, coping strategies, trends, commentary on mental health in culture, shoehorned Simpsons references. This episode: • Perfectionism. Or, in mental health terms, OCPD (Obsessive-compulsive Personality Disorder). We talk to Chris Ward, global charity campaigner and adventure cyclist, about his book Less Perfect, More Happy, in which Chris documents his struggles with OCPD. • The differences between OCD and OCPD. • Why striving to be 'perfect' isn't necessarily a good thing. • How the idea of being a 'perfectionist' can be a euphemism for destructive - and self-destructive - behaviour. • What you can do to manage your life if you suffer from OCPD, or feel your behaviour displays elements of OCPD. ----- Get in touch: contact@emotionalcripples.com @emcripples (Twitter) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1707014319375624/ ----- Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/ Call 116 123 (UK and ROI) Befrienders: https://www.befrienders.org/ CALM – the Campaign Against Living Miserably: https://www.thecalmzone.net/ ----- SHOW NOTES MUSIC The Weathermonger - 'Fourier' The Weathermonger - 'Through The Honeycomb Window' https://soundcloud.com/theweathermonger https://open.spotify.com/artist/11QnHi5wotoXtx2O4uF8ny?si=TWAYe_bzS9-q9le35nVFZA Chris's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Less-Perfect-More-Happy-Chris/dp/0957612370 Perfectionism & OCD: https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-truisms-wellness/201612/perfectionism-versus-obsessive-compulsive-disorder Chris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrisatcoffice
