In a new mental health podcast series, we ask psychotherapists and experts how to manage today’s challenges and stay sane.
The Výdech podcast is accompanied by journalist Šárka Kabátová, whom you know from Seznam Zpráv thanks to the regular My or glosses reportage series.
“Mental illness is a societal problem and people are still reluctant to talk about it. Therefore, in our conversation with experts from the world of psychology, we will offer the mental box as a last resort. Say final but I would easily replace it with the word preventive. In addition to helping us navigate our feelings, we will also give advice on how to breathe,” says Kabátová.
The first episode of the Výdech podcast series was released on Thursday, September 29 – the question of how to manage anxiety resulting from the social and economic crisis will be answered by Miroslav Světlák, head of the Department of Psychology and Psychosomatics at Masaryk University Faculty of Medicine.
“After the pandemic broke out, I noticed how many people around me were whose mental health was deteriorating. I was surprised by how powerful this can be when ordinary personal problems are added to the misery going on all around us. “I myself felt it most strongly after Russia’s attack on Ukraine,” added the presenter.
