Summary

Hello, friends! After a quick update about the whole Thanksgiving situation at my kid's school, I dive into the following amazing questions:

  • My previous therapist was sexually inappropriate. How can I trust therapists again?
  • My depression doesn't go away no matter what I do and I'm not making progress in therapy. What can I do?

As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and show notes are available at http://duffthepsych.com/episode278

content but also respect and recognize your limitations.

0:40.5

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.

I make mental health content for real people, just like you.
