Why do people make ’excuses’?

Why do people make ’excuses’?

In this podcast, I explore the reasons why people might make excuses or come up with reasons not to engage in health behaviours.    Of course, people's reasons are valid, however we sometimes try and poke holes in the reasons. I wanted to dive into some of the deeper reasons why someone may, consciously or subconsciously, come up with a reason not to engage in a health behaviour.    IG: @headfirst0 Website: www.headfirst.ie Podcast: The Head First Podcast

Dr Mike Banna on Behaviour Change and Mental Health

Dr Mike Banna on Behaviour Change and Mental Health

On this episode I'm lucky to be joined by Dr Mike Banna. Personally, I really enjoy Mike's discussions online - he adds so much nuance and balance to very black or white conversations and this is no different!  I think Mike is a really great example of how weight loss is not ALWAYS a bad thing for people, while recognising the harm it has for others.    joe@headfirst.ie
