This week’s episode is a vitally important one. I’ve talked a lot about my own mindset challenges over this season, and something that is instrumental for me to be the upbeat, focused and positive person I know I can be is the support of my psychologist. For this season on mindset, I wanted to have a D&M chat with an expert psychologist who really understands the demographic of the audience of this show. Dr. Libby Quinn, aka The Women’s Psychologist, who has a psychology practice devoted specifically to women. In myself and Libby’s chat, cover: Why women can need therapy more than men The three steps she guides her clients on to help boost their mindset The reason that a journalling practice works and how it can help counteract stress The early warning signs that we should be getting psychological help… soon How to know if we are - or are not - coping ok with a curve ball or major life event The surprisingly common problem of adjustment disorder, and how therapy can help The concept of matresence (every mother needs to know this!) The importance of the female village, and how a lack of it contributes to mental health issues Loneliness and how it impacts our mindset Her (and my) advice on how to find a great psychologist You can find Libby via her website or on Instagram: @thewomenspsychologist.
