Summary

David and Fabrice answer five intriguing questions submitted by listeners:

Joshua: How can I cope with panic attacks during job interviews?
Dan: I feel traumatized by criticisms from my boss at work. what can I do?
Susan: How fast can you taper off of anti-anxiety drugs and antidepressants?
Ross: What if a patient who's been the victim of trauma or abuse asks for a male therapist? Isn't this a form of avoidance? Should patients be matched to therapists based on gender? Isn't it best to avoid the situations that trigger you?
Sumit: I think I have "endogenous depression." Can TEAM-CBT help me? Or will I have to rely on medications? What is endogenous depression?
