Some of the things I once feared have eventually become things I genuinely enjoy. So for this episode, I wanted to talk about fear a little differently — through some of my own experiences rather than treating fear as something that simply needs to be overcome.
Then I answer seven questions that have been sent to me, covering therapy, whether I analyse people outside of work, switching off after listening to people all day, how being a therapist affects friends and family, travelling alone, changing my mind as I've got older, and what I actually want the Appiah Counselling Podcast to become.
A slightly more personal conversation than usual, with a few moments that didn't quite go according to plan.

146 How Travel Changed My Relationship With Fear
Some of the things I once feared most have eventually become some of the things I love most.
This episode is a little different. I’m recording from Shanghai, reflecting on my first trip to China in 2013 and how that experience changed the way I saw travel, fear and my own independence.
I talk about what brought me to China in the first place, deliberately putting myself in situations that challenged some of my fears, and how travelling eventually became something I genuinely love.
More than a decade later, I’m back in Shanghai, walking along the Bund and looking at the same city from a very different point in my life.
This isn’t really an episode about China.
It’s about what can happen when something that once frightened you begins to expand your world.

145 Letting Go Without Returning
Some relationships end with a conversation. Others simply fade away. This episode explores why unfinished endings can stay with us for years, why closure doesn't always come from another person, and how we gradually move forward even when the answers never arrive.
