This episode is a different format to usual as I am really lucky to chat to Sacha Mardou about her fabulous new book Past Tense, Facing Family Secrets and Finding Myself in Therapy. In this deeply personal and visually stunning work, Mardou shares her experience of overcoming anxiety and generational trauma
through the power of therapy, offering a fresh and compelling approach to the timely subject of mental health and the quest for healing. A theme central to the book, Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) plays a major role as readers
are taken inside Mardou's therapy sessions, witnessing the life-changing breakthroughs as she unravels her complicated upbringing and confronts the violent relationship between her parents.
For more information about Sacha and what she is up to you can find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mardou_draws/ and facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sachamardou
