And I also want to reassure you that regardless of all these things that you're trying, changes that you're trying to make,

you're also allowed to be who you are. There's nothing morally wrong about who you are.

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 Health Podcast episode

333. I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych. I make mental health content

for real people, just like you. and today we are back to the question and answer format

a lot of you have a message to me recently asking if me and my family are okay because of the flooding.

We live in an area of Southern California that got pretty hard by the, hit pretty hard by the recent

storms and so yeah I'm okay.

Thank you for asking for everybody that did. We live in an area that is like where our house is is generally pretty safe.
