Hywel the trans trainee therapist

Hello I’m Michelle Thomas and welcome to My Shit Therapist, the podcast pick of the week in The Times! The actual Times! I’m so happy and proud. I’m a one woman band, and sometimes it can feel like I'm chucking stuff out into the void. It’s hard to make an impact with no marketing budget and a full time job, so I’m really glad to have a bit of recognition, and I’m really glad you’re here. And if you want to spread the word you can leave a lovely 5 star review and subscribe , and I’ll be your friend forever. 

Today I’m speaking with Hywel Harrington, a trainee therapist from South Wales who now lives in Bristol. 

Just a heads up, when I spoke to Hywel he was recovering from top surgery, and we’re going to talk a little bit about the details of that, we’re also going to touch on gender dysphoria, substance abuse, and a suicide attempt, so as ever if you’re not feeling up to it today, come back another time.  

Having said that we do laugh a lot in this episode, and Hywel is incredibly charming and funny and wonderful, you’re going to love him.

You can find Hywel’s Instagram account @howl.skellington because it’s spooky season. 

Thank you so much for listening, until next time take care and take your meds xx
