On today's episode of Yours Mentally, we talk about the importance of psychosocial life skills and why it is important to incorporate these skills in our lives right from our childhood and up to our adult life. This episode is in conversation with Vyjanthi Trimal who is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Fergusson College, Pune and has an M.A. in Clinical and Industrial Psychology.
We begin the episode by asking Ma'am to give our listeners a brief overview of what exactly psychosocial skills encompass.
Psychosocial skills seem to play a crucial role in our daily lives. We then asked Ma'am if she could provide some examples of these skills and how they impact our interactions and overall well-being.
We also ask, from a psychological standpoint, how do psychosocial skills differ from cognitive skills and are they intertwined in any way?
We then ask, as we progress through life, how do psychosocial skills evolve from childhood to adulthood and are there specific skills that become more prominent in different stages?
Talking about children – we ask what are some foundational psychosocial skills that parents and caregivers should focus on nurturing during a child's formative years.
Mental health and psychosocial skills often go hand in hand. We ask Ma'am how can honing these skills contribute to improved mental well-being and resilience
We also ask that for our listeners who are eager to enhance their psychosocial skills, what actionable tips or exercises can you recommend for daily practice?
Communication breakdowns can strain relationships. We asked Ma'am if she could share some insights on active listening and effective communication as psychosocial tools.
We then discuss that Self-care is a buzzword these days, but how does it intersect with psychosocial skills and what practices can individuals adopt to ensure their emotional well-being?
And lastly, we ask Ma'am for any final thoughts or advice you'd like to share with our listeners.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
