On today’s “Voices and Music,” we welcomed psychologist Panagiota Bali live in the studio.
We explored mental well-being and how it differs from the pressure to stay positive. We discussed how social media, passive scrolling, and comparison with others affect self-esteem.
We focused on the causes of work-related stress and burnout, as well as the difficulty of setting personal boundaries. We also examined the importance of relationships, community, and a healthy lifestyle.
We addressed social pressures and the need to avoid placing responsibility entirely on individuals. We discussed the particular psychological challenges faced by Greeks abroad and ways to cope with homesickness. We closed with practical suggestions for reassessing our values and seeking help.
