Summary
Hello, all! This is a really interesting episode, in my opinion. That's due to your awesome questions! Here's what I cover:
- When I get angry, I headbutt things, which has given me black eyes. How can I get help?
- What is trichotillomania and how can you work on it?
As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode322

| 0:00.0 | But think about it this way, you know, if you're butting head-butting things hard enough to give yourself black eyes, |
| 0:04.8 | You're also at risk of giving yourself a brain injury. Hey everybody, before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers |
| 0:11.2 | 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. |
| 0:17.5 | I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content but also respect and recognize your |
| 0:24.0 | limitations. So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you need to |
| 0:28.5 | skip a question or an episode entirely, but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. |
| 0:34.1 | If you need to skip, that's okay, but, you know, feel free to give it a shot first. |
| 0:38.1 | I also need to say that while I am a psychologist, I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. |

| 1:27.0 | Two really good questions. The first one, I don't talk a whole lot about it in the answer here, but the question itself does mention some |
| 1:37.9 | potentially triggering things. I change some of the wording in the question intentionally to make it a little bit less triggering, but you know of the |
| 1:47.2 | sexual variety. So just want to make you guys aware of that. As I said it's not a huge topic of the discussion that I'll have about the question. |
| 1:55.4 | But you know just want you to know. |
| 1:57.5 | So, but yeah two really good questions, totally worthwhile things and if you would like me to answer a question for you on the show |

| 2:10.8 | sentences is perfect please don't give me you know three full paragraphs |
