Skill Power Over Will Power, Migraine Triggers & How to Be Your Own Therapist

Dr. Heather McKee is a behaviour change specialist and international keynote speaker. She has had several of her papers published looking at why we do, or don't, do what we do. She talks to Clare about why developing skill power over willpower will always go further. Dietician Orla Walsh joins Clare to talk about her experience of migraines and how sometimes we can mis-read the triggers. And psychotherapist Owen O'Kane was on the show a couple of years back talking about how ten minutes a day can really improve your mental health. He joins Clare to discuss his latest book 'How to Be Your Own Therapist'.
