In this podcast, we have changed things up a bit. Tell us if you can spot the difference. We have our very own Nokhez Usama, deep dive into the topic of behavioural sciences with a particular focus on behavioural analysis. With our guest, Yolla Hassaniah, a Board Certified Behavioural Analyst, we explore behavioural analysis’s role in mental health management and care. They share insights on behavioural analysis and how this domain can provide us with unique perspectives within mental health care practices.

Healers, also known as light workers, are individuals dedicated to serving humanity and helping others navigate emotional pain.
Sensitivity, emotional maturity, and a high level of empathy are common traits of healers.
Healers can be professionals in fields such as therapy, teaching, or mental health coaching, but they can also be regular people with a natural inclination towards supporting and empathizing with others.

This week on Mental Health AE, we bring back a familiar voice to the platform. Our very own Nokhez Usama talks (extensively) on the fascinating topic of fasting and its impact on gut health, neuro health, and cognitive functioning. She dives into how fasting may help balance the gut bacteria and reduce stress and help mechanisms that facilitate repair and anti-inflammation. Lots of big words, words we even spell out. But join us as we talk about the research on fasting, its profound effects on our body and brain, and how you may best be able to make the most out of your fasts this Ramadan.

In this episode of Tuesday Talks, Ali talks with Nora, a breakup recovery coach, to discuss the various challenges individuals face when dealing with non-functional and toxic relationships. Nora provides insights into why people struggle to leave such relationships and emphasizes the importance of having a support system during the healing process. They also discuss how cultural influences romanticize relationships and the need to challenge negative self-perceptions after a breakup or divorce.

In this episode of Tuesday Talks, Ali and Rahaf discuss the importance of checking in on friends’ mental health, particularly for men. Despite reaching out to friends, Ali found that he often received responses like “it’s all good,” which didn’t reflect the reality of mental health struggles that statistics and data indicate are prevalent. The conversation explores the societal stigma around mental health and the need for a shift toward healthier mindsets, behaviors, and coping mechanisms.
