TalkYah 英语唠嗑鸭| Cross-culture experiences (English and Mandarin)

In last episode, we talked about how did we start seeing therapists. Continuing on the therapy topic, we move on to the next phase- what did we do during therapy. Mr. Bolo and I revealed personal experiences such as what we talked about with the therapists in the beginning, and different approaches they took afterwards. We spent a fortune in therapy sessions, and believe the information in this episode is also valuable. If you are interested, tune in!

接着上一期，我们继续聊心理师这个话题。上一期我们聊到：是什么契机让我们开始看心理师，这一期我们聊聊下一个阶段，看心理师的过程。我和菠萝先生揭露了各自的心理疗愈的一些小细节，包括如何开始、不同心理师的不同处理方式等等。看心理师价格不菲，相信这次的独家分享也价值不菲，大家快来听听吧！

Are we better off with mental health, in the digital era? Well, Mr. Bolo and I dont have an absolute answer. An overwheling volume of infomation, the penetration of technology, and all the people with “perfect lives” on social media - the stress on people is unprecedented. Living in unpredictable times, Mr. Bolo and I started seeing therapists due to different reasons. In this episode, we are 100% open about our private experiences, for the audience of Talk Yah. If you are interested in mental health as well, tune in!

《女心理师》我没看，真实人生的注册女心理师我看了。在数字时代，我们的身心更健康了吗？答案见仁见智。信息的狂轰滥炸，科技生活的便利，以及社交媒体上遍地的“人生赢家”，给不少人或许带来了前所未有的压力。我和菠萝在这样魔幻的时代中，因为不同的原因分别接触了心理师（或是therapist），经历了心理疗愈或therapy。在这一期，我们鼓起勇气，毫无保留地给唠嗑鸭小伙伴们分享自己在心理健康道路上的成长。如果你也对心理健康这方面有兴趣的话，赶快收听吧！

Finally, our Swedish friend Mr. Yang Cong (“Onion” in Mandarin) is back to Hong Kong from his 2-month trip in Sweden. It was an adventurous, fun and refuelling experience for him. Under uncertain circumstances, he went through lots of events, including flying back to Sweden, recovering from Covid, going skiing with friends and family, and eventually flying back to Hong Kong and finishing quarantine. From mine and Bolo’s perspective, it sounds like a heroic trip, as nowadays international travel is such a luxury and mystery (especially for people based in Hong Kong). Want to know what Mr. Yang Cong went through? Tune in!

终于，我们的瑞典小哥朋友（洋葱先生）结束了为期两个多月的海外假期回到了香港。他告诉我们这次旅行虽然有各种坎坷，但是乐此不疲。在疫情计划赶不上变化之下，他还是幸运地度过了重重关卡。飞回瑞典老家、确诊新冠后康复、和亲朋好友一同滑雪、最终飞回香港并完成隔离。这年头海外旅游已经不知是何滋味，所以对我和菠萝来说，他简直如英雄一般衣锦还乡。如果你也好奇“鬼知道他经历了什么” ，就快来收听这一期吧！
