With chapters that can be read in any order, it’s perfect for dipping into during a commute or whenever you have a moment to spare.

Dr Al-Najjar and Simon's conversational style makes the podcast episode as enjoyable as it is informative. They offer insights into Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and discuss the emotional challenges faced by healthcare workers.
