Summary
Hello, friends!
This is a Q&A episode in which I tackle the following:
- When is it time to move on from my boyfriend that just recently broke up with me so that I can "find myself"?
- What advice do you have for someone that is pregnant with an eating disorder?
- How long will it take for therapy to help with my borderline personality disorder?
As always, you can send me questions and topic suggestions to duffthepsych@gmail.com

| 0:00.0 | So for you that could be very good because you may have these intrusive thoughts that are from your eating disorder while you're trying to act a certain way. |
| 0:08.0 | And if you give them all the power, it's either going to really distress you or it's going to cause you to act in a way that you don't want to act. |
| 0:15.0 | But if you're able to say, oh, you know, I'm having these urges, they're allowed to be in the backseat while I do what I want to be doing. |
| 0:21.0 | That could be very powerful for you. Hey everybody, before we start the |
| 0:24.4 | show I want to make a couple disclaimers. This show does cover a wide variety of topics |
| 0:28.7 | related to mental health and life in general and some of those could be sensitive for you. I want to simultaneously |
| 0:34.4 | encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content but also respect and |
| 0:38.7 | 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, |
| 0:46.0 | but 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 |
| 0:54.8 | psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not intended to be |
| 0:59.6 | direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help. |
