8 h. ago The one change that worked: I committed to therapy – and began to chip away at my grief and depression

When my mother died, my mental health fell into decline. I tried everything from CBT to mindfulness, until one day something finally shiftedI used to think I was great at therapy. From 17 to 23, I saw a total of four therapists for anywhere between two weeks and three months. Each time, I would sit in their quiet, softly furnished rooms and reel off the story of why I was there: my mum had been diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 15 and given six months to live. She survived, but I continued to live in fear as she relapsed, then went into remission and finally died four years later. I gave them the narrative, talked about how my relationships or work were adding to my stress, then took on their tips, from cognitive behavioural therapy to mindfulness.I was a conscientious student, eager to implement their advice so I could continue coping.

The newly appointed Liberal leader is likely to call a federal election to bolster his mandate, but Canadians seem to see him as the best bet to counter US tariffsWhen Mark Carney took the job as governor of the Bank of England in 2013, he negotiated a five-year term rather than the traditional eight-year tenure.

But that election came and went in 2019, and Carney instead extended his tenure at the Bank, ultimately leaving it in 2020. A year later, the Guardian asked him whether he’d be prime minister of Canada some day. Carney was deliberately coy. “Er, look at the time!” he laughed, with a raised eyebrow.No need to be cute any more. On Sunday evening, Carney won the Liberal leadership race in a landslide, capturing 85.9% of the overall riding points on the first count. The party allocates 100 possible points to each constituency (or ridings, as they’re known), and those points are...
