  • Summary

  • The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice to navigate life’s trickier moments. This week, I’m joined once again by psychologist, best-selling author and social media favourite Dr Julie Smith. Her new book Open When is the kind of emergency toolkit we all need for those moments when life feels like a lot—and today, she’s here to help with some of yours. Together, we unpack your questions about moving on from break-ups, managing social media triggers, and dealing with self-critical thought spirals. Julie also shares her thoughts on anger at work, why it’s a last-resort emotion, and how unmet needs often lie beneath the surface. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in regret, shame or the habit of scrolling your ex’s feed on a Tuesday night (we’ve all been there), this one’s for you. Today: 💔 Dean can’t stop looking at his ex’s social media. How do you let go without suppressing your emotions? 📱 Sharon wants to know how to set better boundaries with social media—and her own negative thoughts. 🤯 Dawn regrets snapping at work and worries she’s becoming “that person.” What’s really going on underneath the anger?
