PSYCH CENTRAL PODCAST

Christel Roets

Welcome to the Psych Central Podcast - your go-to space for real, raw and refreshing conversations about mental health. We're a group of South African psychologists who are not just talking theory - we're living this work, walking alongside our clients, and sometimes figuring it out ourselves. Here we explore everything from burnout in the therapy chair, to navigating motherhood, to the complexities of healing in a chaotic world. Whether you're a fellow therapist, a new mom, or just curious about the inner world we all carry - you are in the right place. This isn't your typical mental health podcast. It's bold, it's honest, and it's unapologetically human. So grab your coffee, or your weighted blanket - and let's talk. You can look at all of our lovely faces and profiles on our website www.psychcentral.co.za to see who the people behind the talk are.

  1. YOGA-SOUND & SLEEP THERAPY - WITH SABRINA FROM ASANA TRIBE

    YOGA-SOUND & SLEEP THERAPY - WITH SABRINA FROM ASANA TRIBE

    Welcome back to another episode of Inside Your Head! I am super excited to share today’s discussion with all of you. I am having a chat to Sabrina from Asana Tribe, about yoga, sleep- and sound therapy and our mental health. Yoga is about so much more than just interesting poses that leaves you feeling quite stiff. More and more research is showing that it has major mental health benefits as well, especially in the treatment of anxiety. A little bit more about Sabrina: As an artistically creative person yoga came into Sabrina’s life as a way to cope with anxiety and physical health. Her journey was on and off for 10 years before she decided to take a leap forward in 2016 and completed her multi style YTT 200hrs on the small island Koh Tao in Thailand, with Mahi Power Yoga School. She knows what it is like to begin this practice we love so much, working well with beginners and currently she is obsessed with sleep meditation and sound journeys (Yoga Nidra & Nada). Her teachings are filled with a gentle strength, focused guidance and a vulnerable calm that can be felt in her classes. Humorous, fun, kind and compassionate, she loves to get everyone relaxed into their practice, whether starting out on this journey or deepening into it, continuously learning and sharing - “forever a student, forever a teacher, forever a yogi”. If you would like to know more about Sabrina and her services, you can have a look at her Instagram page @asanatribe.

    AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY & MENTAL HEALTH - WITH THEMBELIHLE MASHIGO

    Welcome back to another episode of Inside your head! I’m your host, Christel Roets, clinical psychologist and founder of Psych Central South Africa. I want to take some time to thank each and every person who has listened to our podcast and showed us so much love an appreciation! In this episode I have a chat with Thembelihle Mashigo. Thembelihle is such an interesting person, being a counselling psychologist as well as an indigenous healer. This was such an insightful discussion that we had about traditional or indigenous healing from the African spirituality perspective. We discuss Thembelihle’s own personal journey, some of the myths about traditional healers, what it looks like in terms of our mental health and psychological functioning, as well as how she juggles these different roles in her practice as a psychologist. Thembelihle has a psychological and spiritual practice in Sundowner and she also works at Psych Central in Rosebank. She works with a diverse range of clients on understanding their spirituality and psychological functioning. She also writes on healing in an integrated way and gives presentations on African spirituality and healing. In addition, she has lectured and supervised other psychologists. If you want to know more about Psych Central or Thembelihle and the services she offers, you can visit our website at psychcentral.co.za. You can also follow us on your preferred social media platform where our handle is @psychcentralsouthafrica for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.
