Hi! As we all know there's a lot going on at the moment, it's been that way for a while and it looks like it's going to stay like that for a while longer. So I've got my mum back, clinical psychologist Georgia Ash, to talk about what that might mean for us. How do we deal with the uncertainty that has taken a stronghold in our lives since COVID-19? Georgia also chats about why being too optimistic can do us more harm than good and we discuss 'mastery': what is it? & how can we use it to help us cope? Also, Georgia totally reads Ayeesha - shout out to anyone whose parents are psychologists or similar. But it's a good read, it's accurate and it's respectful, and honestly no one can read you like your mum can - psychologist or not.Hope you all have a fabulous next couple of days. And if you or someone you know is struggling don't forget you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14. If you have any mental health related questions that you'd like Georgia to answer then please slide into @bl.ckb.rds or @eeshash DMs! Alternatively, you can send through an email to hello@black-birds.net And don't forget to share the podcast with your friends, share it on IG, and tag @eeshash and @bl.ckb.rds, send through any suggestions or feedback you have! P.S. want to find out more about Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) that Georgia mentions? Click here for a basic idea :)Lots of love ~ talk soon xxx
