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.
