How and why to take a therapeutic approach to behaviour - ideas from Asha Patel

In this video Dr Asha Patel talks about why she believes we should take a therapeutic rather than a punitive approach to behaviour. She explains what this actually means in practice with clear ideas about simple changes we can all try to make. She also explains the impact those changes can have even if we're only able to implement them part of the time.

Dr Asha Patel is a clinical psychologist and the founder of Innovating Minds who provide therapeutic interventions and training. You can learn more here:

I interviewed Asha at a conference hosted by SEBDA in Birmingham in March 2019. This video is not sponsored - I interviewed Asha as I thought that lots of you would find her ideas thought provoking and helpful. I hope you enjoy it!
