Looking at Family and Social Dysfunction with Sally Baker
Before we start, I would just like to say that certain listeners may find some of the topics covered in this episode upsetting. If you have been affected by any of the issues discussed there will be useful links provided in the show notes so, please reach out for help if needed.
In today's episode, I have the pleasure of once again speaking to award-winning therapist Sally Baker. We discuss family dysfunction and how intergenerational patterns can be broken. Sally talks about how her therapist journey evolved from work specialising with female clients struggling with weight loss issues to uncovering a connection to childhood sexual abuse. We explore the damaging impact of social media; examine the plight of a whole generation of young people adversely affected by psychological and behavioural issues now surfacing post the Pandemic and learn how to practically counteract negative thought loops.
Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Our perception is greatly impacted by the way we are raised.
- As adults, we can learn to change the way we perceive and function in the world.
- Many of Sally’s obese clients suffered sexual abuse as children.
- Modern entertainment and social media have a massive impact on mental health.
- The pandemic has generated fear and a level of crippling introspection that is still impacting many people.
- Human connection, play, and exercise are healing.
- You can use your body to change your mental state.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can convert your external locus of control to an internal one. ´
‘That optimism that lightness of heart has kind of gone - the pandemic has blown it away.’
‘Get walking, or swimming, or exercising for 20 minutes.’
