Summary
Hello, friends! Sorry for anyone that missed last week's episode. I messed up a little with the technical side of things. We should be all back track this week. If you don't already, please subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or whatever podcast player you use, so you never miss out.
Here are the questions for this week:
- How can I get help when I can't afford therapy and I don't have insurance?
- What can I do when my emergency anxiety medication doesn't work?
- I feel pressured to have kids. What should I do about it?
As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
