MOOD – During this interview Dr Sarah explains internal and external influences that can impact our mood. She explains that the families we grow up in, life events that happen to us and current circumstances can all affect the way we think about ourselves and the moods we have. Dr Sarah gives us strategies and ideas around how to better understand ourselves and helpful ways to improve our moods.
