Summary
Hello, friends! Thank you to all of you that have been sharing the podcast as part of your Spotify Wrapped posts. Amazing to think that I've been a significant part of your year. I appreciate you so much!
In this episode, I tackle the following questions:
- I've worked through most of my trauma, but issues still arise in my relationship from time to time. How can I avoid passing these issues down to my young child?
- I work with severe populations in a healthcare setting. I feel like I could be experiencing caregiver burnout. Is this possible and what can I do about it?
As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and get the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode281

| 0:17.3 | These little things have an effect similar to tracking gratitude. |

| 0:25.6 | Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers. This show does cover a wide variety of topics |

| 0:56.1 | I also need to say that while I am a psychologist, I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. |
| 1:01.2 | This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use |
