Welcome to a fresh year with a fresh episode of Doing Well: The Wellbeing Science Insights Podcast! This week, host Lu Ngo is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Jessie Chua to discuss the importance of embracing self-acceptance in the light of a new year.
With over a decade of invaluable experience, Jessie is passionately dedicated to the field of mental health and wellbeing. Driven by her unwavering commitment to fostering a society that embraces mental health as an essential aspect of overall well-being, she plays an active role within the National University of Singapore's Health & Wellbeing team, participating in outreach initiatives aimed at enhancing mental health literacy and the dismantling of stigma surrounding help-seeking behaviors.
Apart from sharing her professional opinion on why the new year is such an opportune time for self-acceptance, Jessie breaks down the concept of the ‘self-improvement trap’ and its consequences. On top of that, she elucidates the relationship between self-acceptance and self-regulation, along with advice on setting reasonable expectations for the new year.
Tune in for an insightful conversation about accepting the true you in 2024!
