Making Therapy More Efficient with Maria Szandrach of Mentalyc
M
3:26Maria SzandrachGUEST
So then I-- Like, it basically kind of like move, uh, moved out of my control, so I didn't know even what to do.
M
3:34Maria SzandrachGUEST
So I was discussing with my parents that I, like, don't know how to handle it.
M
3:39Maria SzandrachGUEST
And, uh, it started from actually, like, a very innocent, um, like, play with my, like, girlfriends that, like, some of them were dieting, and then I felt like, "Oh, maybe I could too." I actually didn't need to because I was not overweight, but it was more of this like, "Oh, everyone does it." [chuckles] So, um, that's how, how I...

3:57Maria SzandrachGUEST
Like, I lost couple of kilos, and then I basically got yo-yo, and then I somehow started, like, um, obsessing about food, constantly being hungry.

16:44Maria SzandrachGUEST
So when I was working on the second business, the breath, as you mentioned, which was inspired by COVID times.
M
16:53Maria SzandrachGUEST
So that was the first time when I sort of like started looking into mental health again, because it was already a couple of years since I didn't have any symptoms.
M
17:06Maria SzandrachGUEST
So I started again, like exploring, is there something that I could do to help with it? And Deep Breath was this attempt of bringing more self help tools to the patients or clients, however you want to call them.
