She talks through how to get comfortable with sitting in uncomfortable emotions.</p><br><p>Millie also explains why she didn’t know she was neurodivergent until she stopped drinking; how do the effects of alcohol get mixed up with symptoms of menopause, ADHD, and OCD?</p><br><p>Millie’s book, Hangxiety, is out on the 8th of September.</p><br><p>CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank chat about sexual assault.</p><br><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2a4636" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Millie Mackintosh</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/19146b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Professor David Nutt</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/41af1b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Louise Newson</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
