Summary

Hello, friends! In this episode, I take a few shorter questions covering some amazing topics such as:

Will my psychiatrist or therapist drop me for not getting better fast enough?
What can I do about financial and job insecurity during COVID?
How can I balance working on myself and giving space during a break from my relationship?

As always, you can send me your questions to [email protected] and if you'd like to see full show notes check out duffthepsych.com/episode242
