Summary
Hello, friends!! Today's episode is a question and answer session. I think it turned out pretty well despite some annoying flooding that happened in my office this week, which I talk about in the episode.
Hey, if you are interested in taking your anxiety from a 9 to a 3 and taking back control of your life, be sure to follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/duffthepsych and on facebook at http://facebook.com/duffthepsych because I will VERY soon be opening up pre-orders for my 10-week online course, Kick Anxiety's Ass. Stay tuned.
Here are the questions covered in this episode:
- What can I do about my step-mother who does not support me being in therapy?
- How can I make friends in college?
- How can I build a thicker skin in the face of rejection?
If you have questions for a future episode, please send them on over to duffthepsych@gmail.com
