I'm joined on this episode by psychotherapist and author Anna Mathur. This is Anna's third time on the podcast, making her the most returning guest - and if you listen to this, you'll see why I invited her back!

Her new book, The Uncomfortable Truth, looks at ten of our minds' biggest fears - from 'Some people don't like me' and 'I'm going to fail' through to 'I will lose people I love' and 'I'm going to die'.

But rather than being a depressing read, it's an uplifting but practical guide to shifting the way we think about these fears.

Anna joins me to talk about some of them and to share her own experiences of tackling her fears.

You can follow Anna on Instagram, listen to her awesome podcast The Therapy Edit and buy her new book.
