New on Light Listening: Understanding the emotional shifts that come with Parkinson's

In this new two-part series, Clinical Psychologist and Neuroscientist Dr Stephen Wolfson helps make sense of the emotional shifts that accompany neurological conditions.

What actually happens when the brain’s emotional systems slip out of sync? Why do small stresses feel so overwhelming? And why do carers end up exhausted without realising what drained them? These are questions many people sit with, but rarely recieve clear, compassionate answers to.

That’s why we invited Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Neury®, Dr Stephen Wolfson — who has spent decades helping people make sense of their emotional world. He brings science, but more importantly, a way of explaining emotional change that helps people feel seen and equipped.

EP 1: Why am I struggling to control my emotions?

Emotions can feel sharper, quicker, or harder to manage when neurological changes disrupt the brain’s natural regulation systems. Dr Wolfson breaks down why this happens, how it differs from “just being moody,” and what simple practices can help you regain a sense of steadiness.

Why listen? If your emotions feel unpredictable, this episode might be the support you need to understand why and what you can realistically do to feel more in control.

EP 2: When your emotions aren't just your own

This conversation explores emotions as a shared family experience and how honesty, self-awareness, and taking responsibility for your own feelings can shift long-standing patterns. Dr Wolfson explains how this reframing gives families more flexibility, clearer boundaries, and fewer assumptions of criticism or attack when stress levels rise.


Why listen? If you’re navigating emotional ups and downs together, this episode shows how to break the cycle and build more calm as a team.
