On this episode I chat to Professor Glenys Parry - a chartered clinical psychologist and Fellow of the British Psychological Society, accredited psychotherapist and NHS Consultant. With an impressive and inspirational career, Glenys has written over 100 publications and 2 books, with her research focused on mental health and psychological therapy over the last 40 years. She also works as a government policy adviser at the Department of Health. Glenys has always been a cheerleader for LGBTQ+ rights since she started fighting for these in 1973 as an undergraduate, she’s the co-founder of Gay News and the first woman chair of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality speaking against the use of aversion therapy and other oppressive treatments.
We discuss her LGBTQ+ activism and the changes she has witnessed over the last 50 years, the experiences that form our personalities and overcoming depression. Glenys and I also chat about the importance of exercise, what good therapy looks like and why ‘coming out’ remains such a difficult thing to do. With so much to dive into and explore, this episode is packed full of useful tools and knowledge to help you to live by your own personal values and beliefs.
