Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about mental health. Today, licensed neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank, LSCSW, SEP joins us again to debunk the myth that mental stability means maintaining a constant calm. Our brains are designed for dynamic flux, and understanding the stories behind our symptoms can lead us to peak human experiences. We also criticize the notion of mental health disorders as mere chemical imbalances and highlight the importance of balancing truth and self-leadership in our wellness journey.
