Summary

Hello, friends! In this episode, I have a Q&A featuring the following questions:

How can I continue to work on my longtime childhood trauma when I don't remember a lot of my past?
Do I have a chance of getting back in my long-distance relationship even though I'm pursuing a Ph.D.?

As always, you can send me questions to [email protected] and find the full show notes at duffthepsych.com/episode269
