How can something seemingly so simple, like brushing your teeth, become too hard? It can be difficult to understand, unless you’ve lived it. In this episode of Get Psyched Lis, Ella, Sharna and Luke talk about those daily tasks that felt impossible for them when their mental health wasn’t at its best. As they do, we perhaps start to think about it in a different way? Then we welcome in the clinicians who tell us what our brains are doing in those moments. You'll finish this episode with heaps of different ways to think about and approach this stuff, with ourselves or others.
