Spotlight Podcast (Ep 4): Mental Health & Relationships | #marriage #partnership #couplestherapist

Welcome to Spotlight, a podcast series by @MitsuCare that dives deep into crucial conversations at the intersection of our identities and our mental health. Episode 4 of the Spotlight podcast explores how marriage and relationships intersect with mental health, with guest Dr. Meghna Singhal, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who specialises in parenting and couples therapy and can be found on Instagram as @TheTherapistMommy.

In conversation with Spotlight host Liesl Goecker, Mitsu's head of content, Dr. Meghna discusses the most common challenges Indian couples face, whether divorce can be a pathway to better mental health, why all couples should discuss their values, how difficult it can be to merge two conflict styles, and how to keep from losing yourself in a committed relationship.
