Welcome back to another episode of Inside Your Head!

It has been a while since we released an episode and I am beyond excited to share this episode with you!

I had the most heartfelt, real and vulnerable discussion with Natasha Joubert, who is well known for being the second runner up in Miss South Africa in 2020 and she was appointed to represent South Africa at Miss Universe in 2021. Natasha has a B.Com Marketing Management degree as well as her own company, Natalia Jeffreys. She is a dynamic woman, who has experienced a lot of dissappointment and has also been through major loss. In this episode she shares her own experiences with depression, anxiety and PTSD, as well as how she continues to develop on a personal level given the pressures and responsibilities she has.

I had the most interesting discussion with Devon Brough, who is a transformation powerhouse who has a contagious energy and passionate zest for life. As an author, speaker, and coach he has committed his purpose to helping people get unstuck, inspiring them to transform their life with a focus on achieving breakthroughs in areas of mindset and relationships.

I had the most interesting discussion with Devon about how we need to start with ourselves in relationships. We discuss how you can identify some of your own toxic traits, not just your partner's, how our upbringing can affect the relationships we land up in, his own journey with addiction, and how we can deal with break-ups.

Welcome back to another episode of inside your head! I am your host, Christel Roets, clinical psychologist and founder of Psych Central South Africa.

Lately I have been finding myself in a space where I have a bigger need for meditation, being still with myself and really focusing on generating internal strength and self love. I have been struggling to find guided meditations, one because there’s so many of them, and two, I don’t really know what to search for.

I decided that maybe it might be a good idea to try and record my own. So today I am going to share a short guided meditation with you that has been written specifically to help you release some anxiety that you might be holding on to, and remind you of all of the strength that you can find within yourself and help prepare you for your day!

It's important to remember that the goal of meditations are not to fix all of your problems miraculously, but rather, when used as a daily practice, help you to connect with yourself and do the hard inner work that is so necessary for change.

I hope you enjoy!

I am super excited to share today’s discussion with all of you. I am having a chat to Sabrina from Asana Tribe, about yoga, sleep- and sound therapy and our mental health. Yoga is about so much more than just interesting poses that leaves you feeling quite stiff. More and more research is showing that it has major mental health benefits as well, especially in the treatment of anxiety.

A little bit more about Sabrina: As an artistically creative person yoga came into Sabrina’s life as a way to cope with anxiety and physical health. Her journey was on and off for 10 years before she decided to take a leap forward in 2016 and completed her multi style YTT 200hrs on the small island Koh Tao in Thailand, with Mahi Power Yoga School.

She knows what it is like to begin this practice we love so much, working well with beginners and currently she is obsessed with sleep meditation and sound journeys (Yoga Nidra & Nada).

Her teachings are filled with a gentle strength, focused guidance and a vulnerable calm that can be felt in her classes. Humorous, fun, kind and compassionate, she loves to get everyone relaxed into their practice, whether starting out on this journey or deepening into it, continuously learning and sharing - “forever a student, forever a teacher, forever a yogi”.

If you would like to know more about Sabrina and her services, you can have a look at her Instagram page @asanatribe.

Welcome back to another episode of Inside Your Head. In this episode, I had a chat with Lizé van der Walt about “thinking about your thinking”. I know that this might sound a bit strange, but have you actually stopped and listened to what runs through your thoughts on a daily basis? Can you imagine how someone else would feel if they heard those same things you are thinking the whole day?

In this episode we discuss some common mind-traps that people fall in to and how this can affect your mental health, from your emotional functioning, to work, friendships and romantic relationships.

In this short episode, I share some of my thoughts on burnout. More and more people are finding themselves in a state of burnout, and I truly believe that it is about more than just managing your time better or than taking more frequent breaks. We often try to look at things on the surface, and I think it is so important to also look at how our identity might be rooted in having to be the overachiever or the hard-worker who find themselves in a state of burnout. It has become an admirable state to find yourself in, which is such an unhealthy space for your mental wellbeing.

Have a listen and share your thoughts with me!

Welcome back to another episode of Inside your head! I’m your host, Christel Roets, clinical psychologist and founder of Psych Central South Africa. I want to take some time to thank each and every person who has listened to our podcast and showed us so much love an appreciation!

In this episode I have a chat with Thembelihle Mashigo. Thembelihle is such an interesting person, being a counselling psychologist as well as an indigenous healer. This was such an insightful discussion that we had about traditional or indigenous healing from the African spirituality perspective. We discuss Thembelihle’s own personal journey, some of the myths about traditional healers, what it looks like in terms of our mental health and psychological functioning, as well as how she juggles these different roles in her practice as a psychologist.

Thembelihle has a psychological and spiritual practice in Sundowner and she also works at Psych Central in Rosebank. She works with a diverse range of clients on understanding their spirituality and psychological functioning. She also writes on healing in an integrated way and gives presentations on African spirituality and healing. In addition, she has lectured and supervised other psychologists.
