you have this emotional sense that something is bad and so you start to interpret

situations through that lens and you start to reason through situations with

that in mind right so you're reacting as if that was the truth when that's an internal state

which may reflect part of what's going on but not necessarily, right? It's not the

whole story. Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple 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

in 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

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 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. This is the Hardcore Health Health

Podcast episode 211. I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych. I make

mental health content for real people, like you and today we're doing

another rerun episode I know I've been doing a lot of these lately but I figure

what better time to dig some good stuff out of the archives than right now when I

don't have the most time to get recording done.

Hopefully you guys are cool with that. This one is going a bit back.
