Kristine starts the episode by discussing why she is so passionate about domestic violence and her personal experience of losing her friend to domestic violence.

1 hr 5 min - Episode 191 | Paternal Mental Health
June is Men's Mental Health Month and in honor of Father's Day in this episode of Psych Talk I discuss paternal mental health. Paternal mental health is an area that is under discussed and under researched, which is unfortunate as a father's mental health not only impacts his wellbeing and functioning, but also his child, partner, and family as a whole. I provide some of the [limited] statistics on paternal mental health and various signs and symptoms of paternal mental health concerns. I discuss risk factors for developing maternal mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, as well as implications and adverse outcomes of poor paternal mental health. I discuss ways individuals and the greater society can help support fathers struggling with their mental health, as well as advocate for the need to increase awareness about paternal mental health concerns.

1 hr 1 min - Episode 185 | Scoliosis, Pelvic Health, and Mental Health with Dr. Laura Glazebrook, DPT
In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Laura Glazebook, DPT a physical therapist who specializes in scoliosis and pelvic health. Laura and I start the conversation by discussing how these diagnoses can impact one's mental health and body image. Laura discusses how these diagnoses often are associated with fear of pain, in turn, limiting one's mobility and functioning and discusses how these diagnoses impact various phases of life (pregnancy, postpartum, etc.). We discuss how these diagnoses also impact men, how they may show up differently for men, and the stigma surrounding, particularly a pelvic floor dysfunction diagnosis, for men. Further, Laura discusses how she works on resilience with her clients and offers words of encouragement for anyone who may be struggling with scoliosis or pelvic floor dysfunction.
