Helping you know them understand in that specific example. This is what my anxiety was sort of causing me to do

That can help them ground you know their understanding of it that can help them say oh I thought you were just had other, you know, I thought you just had better things to do, or I thought you were

uninterested in what we were doing. Something like that, maybe they defaulted to this other explanation, when in reality it was this internal

disclaimers.

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.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave and consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize

your limitations.

So please use your best judgment.

I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, feel free to feel it out check out the

episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay but you know feel free to give it a

shot first I also need to say that while I am a psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not intended to be

direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help.

So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. All right, hello friends Friends of All Varieties.

This is the Hardcore Health Podcast episode 164.

I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych.

I make mental health content for real people just like you.

twist to it so last week on the show I had my wife Chawell on and we took questions

from you guys about mainly communication and we solicited questions on Facebook.
