This week on Bread and Better, we're diving into a topic that's close to our hearts—mental health. If you’ve listened before you’ll know, we believe that looking after your mental well-being should always be a top priority. In this episode, we're joined by our resident psychologist, Emma Slade, to share everything you need to know about finding and seeing a psychologist. Emma’s here to answer all your questions and clear up any misconceptions about what it’s really like to see a psych. We’ll cover how to get referred, including tips on working with your GP or insurance, and explore ways to make therapy more affordable. From navigating the logistics of finding the right professional to understanding the differences between psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors, Emma offers practical advice to help you take that first step toward better mental health.
We also touch on what to expect in a session, how to ensure you find the right therapeutic fit, and the importance of not delaying care, even if you feel hesitant. Whether you’re already seeing a psych or just considering it, this episode is packed with valuable insights and encouragement. Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews, and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement, and mindset space, and make real change.
