Matt asked Emma if anything had surprised her about having therapy, with Emma admitting: “I wasn’t surprised when I started therapy because we have done it before, so I knew what to expect. It is weird when it is just you and I can’t blame anything on Matt. I suppose what surprised me is how quickly it works, or how quickly certain aspects of it have worked.
“It is a long process and something you have to work at, but I felt benefits actually quite quickly. I’m not cured, but definite little tips and tricks that help you straight away. So I’m on the mend.,” she quipped, referencing the name of the podcast.
