My guest today, who provides a great deal of food for thought about the impact of Covid and how we emerge from it is formidable psychologist Leah Fogarty.
We cover a lot of topics including the work that Leah has done supporting mental health as people grapple with Covid. When the global pandemic was first impacting Australia last year, Leah developed a program for patients to support them in really uncertain times, which we discuss at length.
Leah's work is influenced by the fact that she is a former elite athlete. A lot of her practice supports current athletes and we talk about this and some of the influences that we can all benefit from, irrespective of level of fitness.
We are hearing a great deal about how much mental health is suffering at the moment and we explore the post-traumatic stress program that Leah has created. There are some incredibly beneficial messages that I took from this discussion and continue to adopt in my own life.
One of Leah's comments that has particularly stayed with me is that humans are the only species to judge things to be good or bad and that nature has designed us to see the negative. This is a constructive message for many people to ponder.
We also explore some positive learnings from the impact of Covid, which has stripped back our needs. Leah guides us that life should be designed, not a default we've fallen into. Excellent food for thought.
