Summary
Hello, friends! It's very very hot over here this week, but I still decided to lock myself in my office without a fan and record this Q&A episode! There are three really great (and different) questions that listeners sent in, and I try my best to give some helpful advice. The questions are:
- What can I do to make my family member understand my past alcoholism?
- How can I plan and execute my days better when I have ADHD?
- What can I do about my chronic depersonalization and dissociation?
As always, full show notes are available at duffthepsych.com/episode162 and you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com

| 0:25.7 | sort of agreement with her. You may need to sort of draw a line in the sand. You can't ever make things |
| 0:31.3 | better if you don't let the past be the past. |
| 0:34.3 | Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers. |
| 0:38.1 | This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and some of those could be sensitive for you. |
| 0:44.9 | I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content but also respect and |
| 0:50.4 | recognize your limitations so please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you |
| 0:55.2 | need to skip a question or an episode entirely, but feel free to feel it out, check out the |
| 0:59.7 | episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's okay, okay but you know feel free to give it a shot first |
| 1:04.9 | I also need to say that while I am a psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist |
| 1:10.1 | This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help. |
| 1:15.0 | So with those said, let's great. All right, |
