In today's episode, I'm chatting with Pallavi Yetur, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA in Counseling from NYU. Pallavi is a psychotherapist who has worked in the mental health field since 2008 in various settings, from addiction treatment to psychiatric rehabilitation. She is also a writer, with an MFA in Creative Nonfiction and a minor in Screenwriting from UC Riverside. Her opinion and criticism has appeared in Salon, NBC News THINK, the Los Angeles Review of Books, GXRL, and The Coachella Review. She is also the author of the advice column "Ask Pallavi" for GXRL. When she is not working with clients or writing, Pallavi is teaching emotional fitness classes at Coa, a new online, therapist-led learning experience here to help you along your emotional fitness journey. In this episode, Pallavi and I dive deep into the topic of emotional fitness and why it is so important to maintain. We also talk about how to build self awareness, the effects of the pandemic on mental health, why we’re so obsessed with productivity, medications for mental health, setting boundaries, social anxiety, the “Sunday scaries", imposter syndrome, self care, and so much more! If you’re interested in starting on your own emotional fitness journey, use the code THRIVING for half off your first month of a Coa membership.
