The Patching Protocol
Alan Patching PhD
Practical, evidence-informed insights into resilience, stress, anxiety and mental health.
The Patching Protocol is an audio podcast designed to help people understand, prevent and manage the effects of stress and anxiety, and to support those experiencing their psychological impacts in finding effective pathways towards recovery.
Drawing on clinical psychotherapy, counselling and hypnotherapy, each episode explores stress and anxiety in an accessible, practical way. The aim is not only to provide useful strategies for managing these experiences, but also to demystify mental health and address some of the concerns and misconceptions that can prevent people from seeking professional help when they need it.
Episodes examine the particular challenges that arise in different circumstances, including preparing for surgery and recovering afterwards, and coping with a troubling medical diagnosis or demanding treatment, such as that associated with cancer.
