Tools for Mental Health, Anxiety and Grief with Dr. Tash

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a psychologist who specializes in helping families through with mental health suddenly finds herself on the other side of the table? In this episode, Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos (known as Dr. Tash) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father to glioblastoma. We dive into the eerie quiet that follows a medical battle, anticipatory grief, and the science of the grieving brain.  We also tackle the vast world of mental health and regulation. Dr. Tash explains why thoughts aren’t facts and how we can use cognitive diffusion to separate our identity from our anxious feelings. We discuss the critical difference between having a hard moment and having a clinical disorder, highlighting the power of behavioral activation—like movement and greenery—to shift our physiology and help us move through emotions in as little as 90 seconds.Resources from this episode can be found at: https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/episode-23-tools-for-mental-health-anxiety-and-grief-with-dr-tash CONNECT WITH DR.
