Welcome to Bravo Unscripted, the show where we dive deep into the personal stories that shape us.
In this episode of Bravo Unscripted, I sit down to chat with Dr. Shahana Alibhai, a family physician, mental health expert, and TEDx speaker. Dr. Shahana discusses her personal battle with postpartum anxiety and how it reshaped her views on mental health. The conversation covers the epidemic of numbing and avoidance in society, the importance of emotional literacy, and practical steps to enhance self-awareness and resilience. They also delve into the stigma around mental health, the interconnectedness of physical and mental health, and strategies to process emotions effectively. Dr. Shahana promotes her upcoming book, sharing insights into her Feel Better Method that includes self-acknowledgement, awareness, acceptance, and action.
