It's fair to feel overwhelmed and lost in the midst of all the buzzwords and diagnoses surrounding mental health. Fundamentally Human is here to debunk misconceptions, teach new topics, and help make sense of anxious and confusing thoughts.
I'm your host, Shirvin Lee, a Registered Clinical Counsellor growing up in a traditional Asian family that did not prioritize mental health at all. I hope that my episodes provide you with new insights and perspectives about mental health.

#52: How to Create a Supportive Environment Around You with Jamie Bower
As we get older, we lose opportunities to connect with others the way we did while we were in school. We no longer get to see the same people daily and consistently. We don't have the chance to really get to know them.
Jamie and I talk about how you can build a supportive environment around you and that starts with connecting with your friends.

#51: How Our Brain Health Impacts Our Mental Health with Farah Qureshi
Our brain health plays a significant role in our mental health and it's not always obvious from the outside looking in. The brain, or the center of our thoughts, controls our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. When we consider lifestyle factors like stress, diet, sleep, and our social relationships, all of that combined can impact our mental health as well.

#50: How Trauma Impacts Our Brain with Dr. Jenny King
Trauma can impact us in ways that might surprise us. Physically, our bodies might have gone through an experience that caused us pain or an injury. Psychologically, we may have been exposed to toxic or harmful behaviour that has impacted us negatively.
An approach that many therapists take is the biopsychosocial approach, which refers to how someone’s biological, psychological, and social factors have contributed to who they are as a person.
To better understand the biological component, I’ve enlisted the help of Dr. Jenny King, to explain to us how trauma impacts our brain and nervous systems.
