How Do You Cope?

John is joined by best-selling author, podcaster and TV host Richard Osman for a conversation about food addiction, shame, and the challenge of changing behavioural patterns.

Richard reflects on how his addiction developed during childhood, and why he sought therapy in his thirties after becoming “tired of weird behaviour”.

Richard also speaks about his relationship with shame and how he manages it, as well as sharing some practical insights for anyone navigating similar struggles with food addiction.

There’ll be more from Richard on Thursday in our bonus episode, The Gratitude List, where he shares the five things he’s most grateful for right now.
