Episode 60 - Mental Health Check - In: Understanding the Pandemic and Our Mental Health

Monica DiCristina

Jan 22, 2021

Each month, Still Becoming brings you a Mental Health Check-In episode. These episodes are focused on mental health, emotional health, or personal growth, and involve a short teaching and a few take aways in around 15 to 20 minutes. The idea is to take a therapeutic topic or technique and expand it to help us in our everyday lives.⁣

⁣

This week we are talking about how the pandemic could impact mental health. This episode is longer than usual because there was a lot of material to cover. This episode will define some terms, explain how this could be affecting all of us, a little bit of brain science, and finally some coping tools. It is a teaching episode that I hope will be validating and empowering.

Books referenced in episode, or ones that would relate to topics covered:

The Whole Brain Child, Dan Siegel

Mindsight, Dan Siegel

Try Softer, Aundi Kolber

Burnt Out, by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski

Articles referenced in episode, or that could be helpful:

Still Becoming with Monica DiCristina

Still Becoming is a podcast about how it's never too late to become more free, more yourself, or try something new. We are all in the process of becoming more or less of something, of growing into ourselves. Informed by her own journey of struggling through anxiety to now working with others as a psychotherapist, Monica DiCristina interviews people about their stories of overcoming and becoming, or starting something new, as well as experts we can all learn from. We are not designed to stay the same, we are all still becoming.
