I’m joined by Dr. Simon Rego and Dr. Sandy Pimentel, two leading and influential clinical psychologists. We jump right in, first considering whether our culture’s increased focus on mental health is a passing fad or an emerging trend that’s here to stay. It doesn’t take long before we venture into the murky waters of mental health content on social media, wrestling with the best way to navigate through the helpful content and misinformation that circulates daily. We also talk about the unexpected impacts of our guests’ social media involvement. Things get practical, as we share advice on how to manage life’s frustrations while holding on to gratitude and hope. We even get personal, sharing about successes and failures and the growth that can only come when you stretch yourself and learn from mistakes along the way. Humorously, we consider society’s mixed feelings about psychologists – either embracing them or running away from them. Finally, we talk about ways psychologists and other mental health professionals can authentically and effectively engage with the community.","meta_description":"Today, we delve into an honest and practical conversation about the place of psychology in society and in our daily lives.
