Conversation points for each week of the Blanchardstown Corporate Park 4-part women’s mental health conversation group
4th September, week 1: Beating imposter syndrome by rewiring your brain
Elzaan Marnane, Principal Clinical Psychologist with Core Clinical, will be leading the conversation during week 1 and closing the conversation during week 4.
- Self-limiting beliefs associated with imposter syndrome keep undermining us because they are wired into our brains
- There are specific factors that are created and are maintained, the self-limiting neurological wiring in the brains of women
- We can truly start to believe that we are good enough by challenging and changing this faulty wiring
11th September, week 2: Identifying self-care
Tracy Mallon, Psychotherapist and Certified Mindfulness Trainer with Heartful Connections Counselling, will continue the conversation for week 2.
- The mental load and what exactly does it mean?
- Why do we struggle with self-care?
- Sometimes feelings like guilt, or even just not knowing our own needs or how best to meet them, can reduce our ability to benefit from the kinds of things we try to do/call self-care. Let’s start to really get to know ourselves and our needs.
- Self-care, on its own, is not enough; there remains prioritising supportive relationships and finding our cheerleaders in life. We are a social species wired for connection and co-operation for our very survival!
- How to reduce the mental load – delegating versus specialising
- Practical ways to avoid burnout; “if we don’t make time for wellness, we will end up having to make time for illness, either way, we spend time!”
