TLTP 010 - Mind Your Head

Relax, breathe, be present, and accept the thoughts which enter your mind... while listening to this month's episode of The Last Tuesday Project. Our Guest Tuesday this month is Simon, a rationalist, skeptic, curry fan, and all-round-nice-guy. Also, like Shaun, Hayley, and Alex, has some experience with the theme of this month's episode. As Mental Health Awareness Week is coming up in May, we decided that this month's theme would be mental health. Shaun takes the Dimbleby role whether there is any evidence for mindfulness meditation as a treatment for depression. We talk about the potential harms of mindfulness meditation, our experiences with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Plus, rockstar Hayley sings us into the episode.   Don't forget that we'll be releasing our Extra TWOsday companion episode on Tuesday 9th May 2017, on the theme of mental health, plus the usual levels of irreverent conversation.   Not listened to the most recent TWOsday companion episode? Listen to our thoughts on various conspiracy theories (Lost Cosmonauts, dead Paul McCartney and dead Avril Lavigne) and Neil Young's Pono, all on Episode 009a.   Want to get in touch? We're on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Or, you can email us at podcast@lasttuesdayproject.com.   This month's icon uses a drawing of Indian saint and yogi Mahavatar Babaji from Wikimedia Commons.
