Summary
Hello, friends! This episode is coming at you a little late today, which I explain at the beginning. It's important to be honest with yourself and exercise control over your situation to avoid burnout. Here are the awesome questions in this episode:
- Why am I starting to struggle with my mental health at age 46?
- Can you have fleeting suicidal tendencies?
- Do flotation tanks help with anxiety and ADHD?
As always you can send me your questions for the podcast to duffthepsych@gmail.com
