S1E27: 27| Reflect, Reframe, Refocus

Psychologist, Dr Monica Borschel talks to us about how our self worth is tied up in our identity and what we value the most in life. She explores why we experience negative self talk and how we might be able to reframe our thoughts by focusing on the positive and recognizing our triggers, then we are able to refocus our energy. Monica shares the key factors that affect our happiness and self worth. Hong Kong is a stressful environment and she explores mental health issues and suicide prevention in both adults and teens. Monica talks about teen stresses and coping mechanisms, as teenagers’ brains are still developing and they can lack impulse control. They are still exploring their self identity and thus require patience and understanding. She gives suggestions for anyone coping with stress, building resilience and the importance of finding a work life balance. Monica also shares advice for parenting teens and how to build family emotional intelligence. Monica specialises in attachment styles and loss; and she also explains these concepts. There is so much to learn from this podcast and it will hopefully be incredibly useful for anyone wanting to work on themselves, their parenting or just to improve their lives in general.
