HOW TO: know when you need therapy with psychologist & psychotherapist Rashida Dungarwalla
Description
If you've never been to therapy, it can be intimidating to know how or where to start.
But acknowledging you need help is the first step to receiving it and getting better.
In this episode, Katie speaks with registered psychologist & clinical psychotherapist, and founder of Flow State Space, Rashida Dungarwalla, to find out how to get started in therapy and how to make the most of it once you're there.
They discuss:
The reasons why people seek therapy (it's not just because something "bad" has happened to you!)
Why you should seek therapy over sharing with your friends, family or partner
Warning signs that your mental health might be declining
How to get a Mental Health Care planÂ
What to look for in a therapist
And how to prepare for your sessions & do the work outside of therapy to ensure you're getting the most out of it
