One of my favourite episodes to date. I'm joined by Dr. Saliha Afridi, a well-known clinical psychologist and mental health advocate with over 20 years of experience. In our chat, she breaks down common myths about mental health and talks about the link between happiness, contentment, and the influence of media. Dr. Afridi shares valuable insights on finding balance in life, why therapy matters, and how to spot and break unhealthy patterns. We also dive into topics like narcissism, the effects of trauma, and the pressures of social media. You'll walk away with a better understanding of personal growth, the power of facing tough truths, and the importance of lifelong learning—all through the lens of Jungian psychology.
