Podcast: Physical Health Tips for a Mental Health Worker

We are pleased to share that Succoris Psychology Clinics featured on the Mental Work Podcast, hosted by Dr Bronwyn Milkins. In this insightful episode, exercise physiologist Jamie joins us to discuss the crucial topic of maintaining physical health for mental health professionals.

As mental health workers, our dedication to supporting others can often lead to neglecting our own needs, particularly our physical well-being. Jamie delves into the myths surrounding ‘correct’ posture, debunking common misconceptions that can hinder our physical health. She highlights the importance of incidental exercise, demonstrating how integrating movement into a busy workday can significantly enhance our overall health without requiring extensive time commitments.

Additionally, Jamie offers a unique perspective on running a psychology practice from a non-psychologist’s viewpoint. She explores the positives and challenges that come with managing a practice, providing valuable insights for those considering this path. Her expertise bridges the gap between physical health and professional practice, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing for mental health workers.

This episode is a must-listen for mental health professionals seeking practical strategies to prioritise their physical health while managing the demands of their careers. Jamie’s advice equips you with the tools to maintain a healthy balance, ensuring you remain resilient and effective in your vital roles.
