Taner is a counsellor, psychotherapist and addiction specialist. He's worked in mental health for over 15 years across the NHS and privately, helping people from all walks of live better understand and navigate their emotions. Taner himself has had a very interesting life, growing up in an Irish/Cypriot family and longed for stardom, which led him down an interesting path full of drugs and booze. Now 17 years sober, Taner has a wealth of knowledge around Sobriety which he shares with all on his social media. In this episode, the three get deep into the science of the brain, better understanding the effects of addiction and alcohol abuse, as well as sharing stories about how they eventually stepped away from the naughty stuff. | |||
