I am a psychologist in the making, and I am joined today by Marcus O'Shea, a registered therapist, who is going to speak about self-care. Featuring: Marcus O'Shea Link : www.marcusosheacounselling.com Niyati jain

In this episode, Niyati shares personal insights and experiences from over seven years in therapy, exploring the lesser-discussed challenges and drawbacks of therapy. With a master's degree in psychology and years of supporting individuals in mental health crises, Neithi delves into the complex landscape of therapy, addressing issues of accessibility, expectations, and misconceptions. Driven by the widespread acceptance and discussion of mental health, Neithi highlights critical obstacles such as the struggle to afford therapy, difficulty in finding the right therapist, and managing expectations within the therapeutic process. The episode sheds light on how societal, cultural, and personal factors can influence the effectiveness of therapy, revealing that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Join Neithi as they discuss the importance of understanding therapy's limitations and the potential need to explore alternative or supplementary approaches for mental health improvement, emphasizing the value of compassionate and proactive support in navigating these challenges.

As a psychologist in the making, here's my take on some of the 'not spoken about' aspects of therapy. I've heard a lot of stories through my crisis work and wanted to share my experiences being in therapy, while also now learning more about psychological theories and techniques. This is my first video ever, with many bloppers in it. Please be kind, but any feedback is helpful, as I am in the process of making more videos on topics you may enjoy Audio only link: https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-ins6h-141d300
