In this episode we welcome in to the Therapy Shed another very special guest, Chris Roberts, to preview his newly released book "Football > Anything". We enjoyed a fascinating conversation with Chris, discussing the inspiration behind writing the book and the key themes explored; the greed and sometimes self-destructive competitiveness rife within football. How does the sport so loved across the globe cause so much pain, hurt and heartbreak? Chris shares his personal journey and challenges with Depression, leading him to access therapy and becoming motivated to write the book. It was inspiring to sit down and chat with Chris, hear his story and how he continues to manage his mental health.
The book is a brilliant, insightful and incredibly well researched account of the underbelly of football. All proceeds from the book are donated to Sean's Place, a mental health support service in Liverpool.
