HEALING 101: How to feel more resilient to life's challenges with Dr Sam Akbar

In today's episode, I'm joined in the studio by a clinical psychologist with more than ten years of experience. Dr. Sam Akbar specialises in treating refugees with PTSD who have been tortured, survive war or sexual violence. And in 2022 released a book called Stress Alien How to Beat Stress and Build Resilience. There is no denying that life is stressful. We are living in a post-pandemic world where 81% of women are overworked, overwhelmed and exhausted. But Dr. Sam Akbar's book is just what every woman needs to feel calmer, less stressed, and more resilient to life's challenges.Today, I ask her about what we can do to develop more resilience, to cope with the ups and downs of life. How we can start understanding our minds more and why our brains waste into focus on the negative. So if you're feeling overwhelmed, trapped, or a little bit anxious today, this might just be the conversation you need to hear.
