Mental Load - Entlastung mit Philipp Ruland

Is it enough to just take a bath – or am I just masking my stress? In this episode, I talk with Philipp Ruland, psychotherapist and trauma expert, about mental load and mental health. Philipp explains what mental load really means, how we can recognize warning signs, and why seeking help is a strength. An honest conversation about perfectionism, self-compassion, and the courage to take better care of ourselves.
