Hello I\\u2019m Michelle Thomas and welcome to My Shit Therapist, the podcast pick of the week in The Times! The actual Times! I\\u2019m so happy and proud. I\\u2019m a one woman band, and sometimes it can feel like I\'m chucking stuff out into the void. It\\u2019s hard to make an impact with no marketing budget and a full time job, so I\\u2019m really glad to have a bit of recognition, and I\\u2019m really glad you\\u2019re here. And if you want to spread the word you can leave a lovely 5 star review and subscribe , and I\\u2019ll be your friend forever.\\xa0

Today I\\u2019m speaking with Hywel Harrington, a trainee therapist from South Wales who now lives in Bristol.\\xa0
\\n
\\n
Just a heads up, when I spoke to Hywel he was recovering from top surgery, and we\\u2019re going to talk a little bit about the details of that, we\\u2019re also going to touch on gender dysphoria, substance abuse, and a suicide attempt, so as ever if you\\u2019re not feeling up to it today, come back another time. \\xa0

\\n
Having said that we do laugh a lot in this episode, and Hywel is incredibly charming and funny and wonderful, you\\u2019re going to love him.
