Summary
Hello, friends! Good news - your boy is official! I finally passed all of the hurdles and paid all of my money and got my license as a clinical psychologist in California. It's super meaningful for me and I appreciate you being a part of the journey.
Anyway, this is another great question and answer episode. Here's what I cover:
- Should I play a show with my band in the city that my friend died?
- How can I improve my relationship when I might be the toxic one and create conflict for attention?
- What can I do about my anxiety and agoraphobia if I haven't left the house in two months?
As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com!
