Summary

Hello, friends! Hope you are well. Cruising along over here. Super ready for a relaxing weekend. In this episode, I tackle the following questions:

I self-harmed (cut) when I was young and I still struggle with different forms of self-harm. Is therapy still an option?
What can I do to feel joy again when my depression is strong?

As always, you can send me your questions to [email protected] and find the show notes at duffthepsych.com/episode264

0:32.3	offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely,
0:35.5	but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's okay,
0:40.0	but you know, feel free to give it a shot first. I also need to say that while I am a
