Mick Coyle is joined by two guests on this week's podcast.
First, we'll hear from Elissa, who's sharing her story of problem gambling and the impact it had on her life.
In the last four years, some gambling services have seen an 80% rise in female users.
Elissa explains how gambling took hold of her from a young age, and stayed with her, until things escalated into her 30s.
She talks openly about her experience, including how gambling impacted her wedding day.
And she tells us about finally finding the right help to put her on a different path.
In part two of the programme, TV medic Dr Ellie Cannon tells us how shame and stigma is holding 2/3 gamblers back from getting help, and how a simple conversation can start to put you on the right road.
Find out more about the work of GambleAware, and the survey results from their new research
General mental health signposting is provided at the end of each podcast.
TOPICS: Gambling, Gambling harm, female gambling, suicidal thoughts, gambling support
