From boxing gyms to bodywork, Gav reminds us that physical pain often has emotional roots.Pras, a former forensic mental health practitioner who’s worked with men in prisons, now teaches others how to approach mental health with empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practice. His journey from the prison system to the classroom is filled with lessons on vulnerability, safe spaces, and the link between psychology and crime.💬 This is an honest, uplifting, and deeply human episode that shows the strength in vulnerability and the power of truly seeing people.🎬 Episode Highlights:🎯 Pain, Depression & the Mind-Body Link🥊 Boxing Gyms: More Than Just Sport🧠 Positive Thinking & Brain Training🏥 Empathy in Healthcare: More Than Medicine🔐 Forensic Mental Health: Where Psychology Meets Crime🛡️ Community & Safe Spaces Matter💬 The Strength in Vulnerability#TheBlackCountryBlokes #MentalHealthMatters #MensMentalHealth #PhysiotherapyAndMind #ForensicPsychology #HealingThroughEmpathy #SafeSpaces #StrengthInVulnerability #BoxingForMentalHealth #MindBodyConnection #BeyondTheSurfaceSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bcb.
