CBT and Dramatherapy: A Deep Dive with Janeen Wilson

The little t's, I would say, are things that people may not necessarily want to term as traumatic, but they still are.
Imagine having a toolbox that helps you manage your thoughts, feelings, and actions more effectively. In this episode of 'The Waitlist', host Alex Manly chats with Janeen Wilson, a seasoned psychotherapist working with the NHS and in private practice. Janeen breaks down Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dramatherapy, explaining how these methods can be game-changers for mental health. But that's not all—this conversation goes beyond just techniques.
Janeen and Alex tackle some pressing issues in the therapy world, like diversity and inclusion. Ever wondered why it's so hard to find a therapist who truly gets your cultural background? Janeen sheds light on this and discusses her work with the 'Let's Talk About Race' workshop. She also touches on the importance of anti-racism and proper supervision in therapy settings. Accessibility is another hot topic.
With NHS waitlists stretching on forever, Janeen compares the pros and cons of private versus public therapy options. She shares resources that can help you find affordable or even free counseling services. It's eye-opening to hear about the different avenues available for those seeking help. One of the standout moments is when Janeen talks about the 'little t's'—those seemingly minor experiences that can still have a big impact on our mental health.
It's a reminder that no struggle is too small to seek help for. Whether you're curious about CBT, Dramatherapy, or just want to understand the mental health landscape better, this episode offers valuable insights. Tune in to get a fresh perspective on navigating mental health in the UK and learn how to make therapy work for you.
