How Did We Get Here?

108

In this new original series from Somethin' Else, Claudia Winkleman and Professor Tanya Byron identify struggles faced by real-life parents and family members by inviting them in and hearing their story, in a one-time unscripted session with a real person. Claudia listens in to the conversation to discover how Tanya begins to unlock the story behind the issue and help find solutions. With topics ranging from parental estrangement, gender identity, domestic violence, trauma, inheriting mental health issues, family dynamics after cancer and raising a severely disabled daughter, How Did We Get Here? is a passionate, insightful and moving experience with clear outcomes to each episode.This podcast doesn’t tell people how to raise their children, or reconnect with family members, rather it helps people understand why, as perfectly competent adults, they can’t put into practice what they know they should do.Each episode passes on useful links and contacts which listeners can find in the programme notes.This is a Somethin' Else production.

    Beautiful Best Women
    Claudia and the Professor. What a remarkable pair. These stories shared are a precious gift. Thank you. I hope you continue! Just love it.
  • Jenny-jen420
    So helpful and moving!
    I wish I could receive therapy from the professor...and be besties with both ladies! I ADORE this podacst. It is really helping me with my own issues in a time where many of us need someone to talk to put can't due to COVID!
  • MazzyJL
    So insightful! A must listen.
    I can’t believe this podcast gets anything less than a 5 star review ever. I’ve learned so much about getting unstuck from this podcast. All the guests have opened themselves up to be very vulnerable and walked away with much-needed insights. Please keep up the great work ladies!
  • MTAKWA
    Really touching and helpful
    This could easily be an exploitive podcast, but it is so sensitively done. I find myself remembering guidance from this podcast as I move through my own life. Thank you for doing this work.
  • K810lea
    A great podcast!!
    How did I just find this podcast? Very intriguing episodes and there have been several sessions that I relate to so much, I catch myself writing down my very own feelings I hear out loud but hadn’t ever found the words for until now. Subscribing now!
  • Olivialovesmusic
    Love it
    Engaging and informative. A must-listen for anyone working on their EQ.
  • britinatl
    A brave podcast
    Excellent, I’m learning so much. Thankyou
  • stephrwats
    These ladies know their stuff!
    I enjoy listening to this podcast and learn so much about psychology.
  • VixJen
    Incredible.
    We are so lucky to witness the brave and important work that goes on in this podcast. I hope we get seasons and seasons of it - I’ve never heard anything like it!
  • ToDiKo
    Really love this
    Every episode has been great
  • DancyPants333
    Lift the Lid
    I am new to Podcasts. There are no coincidences in this life. The fact that I found my way to your podcast is a welcome gift. I have fancied myself a fairly intuitive (yet not professionally trained), novice of recognizing the great myriad of ways that people sink their feeling to the bottom of that amazing soup of our lives. You both have a sweet, kind, yet direct and wonderful way of lifting the lid. Together, with your “guests”, you all commence to gently stirring and seeing what simple additions can make it even more delicious! All the while letting some steam escape. Im hooked.
  • BrendaTNYC
    Simply Brilliant
    This is simply the best combination of clever & comforting.
  • podcast-me
    Must Listen!
    Loved this podcast. In my top 5. Found something I could relate to in every episode. Claudia and Tanya have a wonderful chemistry along with a sympathetic and approachable style with each of the participants. Binge listened the series in a few days and now can’t wait for more!
  • oxontiki
    Love it!
    I would like Prof. Tanya to come live next door please! Her wisdom and skill in her job is amazing, you can hear the life changes her conversations make every time and I feel like I learn from every episode. You can take the advice and apply it to aspects of your own life. So helpful.
  • TheVigaro
    Brilliant
    Great framework for a podcast, the energy and connection shine. Very well done. “...you won’t break...no one breaks on my watch, darling...” -Tanya to Natasha🥰
  • Vi and Ray
    Cutting edge
    You are both so vitally important to this podcast. There is something about the way that you two work together that is both nurturing and razor keen. Listening to the unpacking of past hurts, brewing them a nice cuppa and then coming up with a viable plan for the person’s future is so heartening to hear. You two are music and medicine to my ears. Thank you both, life changing.
  • Georgiejen
    Fabulous
    I’ve only listen to the first episode, but I’m hooked! I am amazed at the psychological insight in a story format. It’s entertaining and educational. Looking forward to other episodes.
  • sallysanfran
    Nothing else like it.
    Incredible. Important. And very brave for all involved, I’d say. Thank you.
  • oliviatrue20
    Great podcast
    So glad to have found this. Thank you.
  • cockbeer
    Excellent! Five Stars!
    Thank you, Claudia! I love your style, I love your personality and I love your work! Some days I find it hard to communicate with my therapist and to hear other’s experiences is extremely helpful for me.
