Self Care Corner: Protecting pleasure and emotional intimacy while pursuing pregnancy

The continued reports of violence against women are leaving many South Africans angry, grieving and afraid. For survivors of gender-based violence, these stories can also reopen emotional wounds and trigger painful memories. 

But even women who have not personally experienced GBV may find themselves living with heightened anxiety and constantly questioning their safety. 

How do survivors begin to heal, and how can women remain aware without allowing fear to consume their daily lives? Joining us to help navigate trauma, triggers and the emotional weight of the current environment is therapist, educator and trauma-informed facilitator Louise Westerhout, whose work engages with GBV, trauma, healing, consent and social justice.

When it becomes underactive or overactive, the symptoms can easily be mistaken for stress, ageing or other health problems. This morning in the Self Care Corner, we’re joined by a medical doctor Dr Dakalo Ndouvhada, to help us understand the different thyroid disorders, the warning signs we should not ignore and the treatment options available.

Many of us move through life on autopilot, responding to responsibilities, routines and other people’s expectations without stopping to ask whether the life we are living truly reflects who we are. But what does purposeful living look like? And how can we make more intentional choices about our time, energy and direction? Joining us in the Self Care Corner this morning, to help us answer these questions, is metaphysician and life coach Simone Naidoo.
