Topic Tuesday 1: Special guest psychologist YvonneS answers your questions CLOSED

*waves*

Welcome to our first ever Topic Tuesday! We are joined tonight by @YvonneS, a wonderful psychologist, who has so generously accepted our invite to be our first Special Guest.

Have you got any burning questions for a psychologist, which you haven’t had the opportunity (and/or confidence) to ask? Is a friend or family member seeing a psychologist & you’ve always wondered what happens in those sessions? Or maybe you’re just curious to know what a psychologist does! Tonight is your night to ask anything!

Our session tonight will go from 6pm AEST to 8pm AEST, however this thread will be available to all members afterwards.

Let’s kick off by hearing a bit about our special guest tonight - @YvonneS, would you like to share a bit about yourself?

Remember you cant be an effective support for someone else, if your running on empty yourself.

NikNik, on Helpline we talk to lots of carers who are feeling overwhelmed by their caring role. Feeling like you matter too is important. Like I said, caring for someone else can be hard and its ok to feel that way. This Carer Forum is an important way to feel that your not alone...a place where others know what your going. A place where you can talk about your bad day or your great day

Well I think that's a really great way to end this session - all about the self care!

We are going to keep this session available to all members in this Special Events thread so everyone can have a read over it later.

Thank you so much @YvonneS for taking the plunge and being our very first Special Guest here during our first Topic Tuesday! I found it very informative & I'm sure the rest of the community did too!!
