New Dads Get Postnatal Depression Too... And Nobody Notices

New dads can get postnatal depression too... and most of the time nobody notices, not even the dads themselves. Christopher explains what happens in a man's brain when he becomes a father, the signs to look out for (aggression, frustration, withdrawing), and why so many dads get missed. He's also run more than 13,000 hypnosis sessions and says he's never met anyone he couldn't hypnotise. Christopher is a neurocognitive psychotherapist with 15 years in practice, a postgraduate in neuroscience and membership of FENS, the Federation of European Neuroscientists. He's worked with professional boxers and UFC fighters to help them get that extra 20%. In this episode of The Legacy Bench we ask him everything: why new dads can get postnatal depression too, what really happens in your brain during hypnosis, why your memories change every time you recall them, whether you can train your brain to be more confident, and whether a whole crowd can be hypnotised.
