and these thoughts that you're being kind of bombarded by, they slowly but surely work their way into your own mind and changes your own perception of yourself, makes you doubt yourself.

Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and

some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in

consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations. 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. If you need to skip, that's

okay, but you know feel free to give it a shot first. I also need to say that while I am a psychologist, I'm not your

psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you

should not use this as a substitute for professional help. So with those said let's go ahead and

get into the show. All right. Hello friends of all varieties, this is the Hardcore Self-Help Podcast episode 3.12.

I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych.

I make mental health content for real people just like you and today I have a

question and answer for you two really great questions. If you want to send one in for the show, please do so by emailing me at Duff the Psych at gmail.com or use the contact form at Duff the Psych.com on the website there. And you can also search around on the website to see you know what

questions I've already covered in such. I don't mind repeating things every so often because there are you know

over three-hatch episodes. It's inevitable that some topics will be similar or, you know, a little repetitive and that's totally okay. So don't stress too much about it if you're unsure. When in doubt, just send the question.

But yeah, just question to answer here.

You know, I was thinking today, like I really, really do want to get back to making more

other types of content.

You know, the podcast is consistent, you know, I'm always doing it. I'm going to continue doing it and that's not going anywhere.

But like my writing and you know other types of content, you know videos and such have really kind of gone by the wayside,
