Hey there, friends! I'm thrilled to announce that the second season of my mental health radio show, Nirvana Principle, is now available on SoundCloud! In this season, we dive deep into some really important topics like ADHD, the Anatomy of Relationships, Trauma Therapy, and Refugee Mental Health.

Each episode is a thoughtful exploration of the challenges that so many of us face when it comes to our mental well-being. We've had some incredible guests on the show who've shared their own experiences, insights, and tips for living a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I'm so excited to share these conversations with you all and to continue spreading awareness about the importance of mental health. So, if you're looking for a new podcast to add to your playlist, or if you're just interested in learning more about these topics, be sure to check out Nirvana Principle on SoundCloud! And, as always, take care of yourselves and each other.

Mental Health Podcasts: NPS S2 [Melodic Distraction Radio, Liverpool]

Join Fatima Hashmi and Dr.Hassan Mallick on the Nirvana Principle Show: Anatomy of Relationships as they navigate the heartbreak minefield (filled with love-bombs)using attachment theory, how being a mental health professional affects relationships, and talk about the flags that matter in the dating sphere.

You can catch our extended 2 hour recording on Spotify soon! Be sure to follow us on on socials @nirvanaprinciple to stay up to date with our shows and philanthropic work!

*potty mouth warning* Fatima was quite serious before the recording “Listen Hassan, I don’t think I can take anyone seriously if they don't swear…” so just a heads-up that we’re dropping some f-bombs in this one, so maybe not listen when your parents are around …or your kids…and if this is my mum listening in , I’m sorry Ma.

Love,
Hassan and the Nirvana Principle Team

mechanisms of trauma, how therapists create a safe space , and how the discovery of PTSD treatment was a walk in the park.

Trauma Therapy with Josie Geddes

In the current, politically charged climate of xenophobia, fear and prejudice towards immigrants and asylum seekers we discuss refugee mental health with psychiatrist and professor Dr. Cornelilus Katona, who holds multiple accolades and roles including medial and research director at the Helen Bamber Foundation, a human rights charity. We use Dr. Katona’s experience and knowledge to understand the lingo of refugee mental health, the psychological effect of detainment on asylum seekers, and the vicarious suffering of doctors and professionals who care for this vulnerable group.

*Trigger Warning* We discuss difficult topics like torture, human trafficking and moral injury. If these are difficult topics for you please check out one of our other episodes.
