S2 Ep10: The Dangerous Highs of the Limelight with Psychotherapist and Addiction Specialist Taner Hassan

He had a taste of life in the fast lane but found himself desperate to escape his life-threatening habits when paranoia and self loathing took him to some dangerous places. 

Now clean for 18 years, Psychotherapist and Addiction Specialist Taner Hassan explains how self-obsessive thinking led to his massive social anxiety and how using alcohol to silence that constant internal dialogue led to his early struggles with addiction. Paul and Taner talk about his drug of choice (MORE) and Paul’s drug of choice (PRESTIGE).

Taner has extensive experience, having worked within the field of addiction for over 16 years, serving the community in various settings for mental health including charities, the NHS and private rehabilitation.
