Join hosts Shaun and Rachael Reynolds in their engrossing podcast, "What Was I Made For?". This episode dives deep into their personal battles with mental health issues. Rachael shares her experience of overcoming obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and a discussion ensues on the therapeutic practices of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and engaging in supportive dialogue.
Shaun shares his own struggle with persevering mental health issues, emphasizing the significance of communication and not enduring in silence. They motivate listeners to approach mental health issues as injuries to be attended to, with a keen understanding that therapy is not a 'one size fits all' solution.
The episode takes a turn as it dives into a deeply personal battle with severe health anxiety. It gives a detailed account of the whirlwind journey from diagnosis and testing to reactions from loved ones, culminating in therapy discussions. It spotlights the complicated nature of mental health and the vast range of emotions it generates in those affected and their support system.
An enlightening debate on the current state of mental health awareness in the educational system is covered, addressing the concern of whether enough is being done to support children in academic institutions. With an aim at a future where mental health is of equal importance, this episode provides a stepping stone towards that goal.
The conversation then shifts to discussing the impact of social media on young individuals in today's digital world and proposes a contentious solution of limiting access to specific platforms until the age of 18. As educators, parents, or simply as someone wanting to gain insight into your wellness and mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
