Suzette Shahmoon is a psychologist and cognitive hypnotherapist. In this series, along with an array of guests, Suzette will be examining the emotional baggage that builds-up and clutters our lives due to the complex nature of life experiences and the relationships with those around us. When is a friend, truly no longer a friend? How do our friendships change when our life circumstances do? And why do those around us not always act in a way which we would want, or expect them to? And why don’t we? She’ll explore these questions and more together, so we enter our friendships with hand baggage only and leave room for stronger more authentic friendships to grow.

episode 6: S1 Ep6 - Friendships and the student experience
In this sixth episode of Hand Baggage Only, host Suzette Shahmoon speaks to her youngest daughter Gabriella.
Suzette asks her daughter about the experience she had as an introvert trying to make lasting friendships in her first year of university. Why don't people talk about this topic more? Is it normal to feel left out of the 'university experience'?
Gabbi ended up dropping out of University and has shared her story of the impact it had at the time, and how she has bravely changed direction in both her studies, and her attitude to making friends.
