For all I know, he may have been punished as a kid for having strong emotions.

And on the other side, maybe he was only praised for his accomplishments, right?

Any feelings he had were shut down, but he can actually get some emotion from his parents or whoever he was raised by when he did good.

And that leads to him being very career oriented and very sort of accomplishment oriented.

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 allieties, this is the Hardcore Health

Health Podcast episode 378.

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 episode.

I have two really interesting questions from listeners like yourselves.

Nothing too intense or potentially triggering here but interesting stuff for sure.

If you would like to send me in a question for the show please send me an here, but interesting stuff for sure.
