Understanding Body Matters Podcast
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
On this week’s episode I am super excited to be introducing you to our next special guest to Principal Psychologist of the Mental Care Clinic, Dr Daisy Gemayel. Daisy grew up in Lebanon and then travelled to the U.S where she attended Harvard University at Cambridge in Massachusetts. After studying in the U.S she then travelled to Australia to gain her PhD in Psychology from Charles Sturt University. Alongside her studies Daisy has had many years of experience working in private practice, research, community mental health and hospital settings. Where Daisy has conducted clinical screenings, psychological assessments, and developed comprehensive treatments based on research. For example, during her PhD studies, Daisy developed and validated a psychometric tool to predict fathers at risk of paternal depression, anxiety, and stress which is a massive contribution to the field!
Daisy also has many passions some of which involve supporting adolescence and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, complex trauma, phobia, and psychosis. Where Daisy uses evidence- based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive processing Trauma, Schema Therapy and, Individual and Group Dialectical behavioural Therapy within her practice.
On this week’s episode we will be speaking about the topic of self- confidence and self-esteem and its links to eating disorders. Really exploring the links between self-confidence and eating pathology. So please welcome our next special guest, Daisy!
