Summary
Hello, friends! Thanks for joining me again for another Q&A episode. I was recently interviewed about anxiety on the Sexy Fit Podcast, which you can check out here: http://sexyfit.com/mindset/ep-180-fk-anxiety-practical-strategies-help/
I also wanted to mention that I will be switching my release day from Wednesday to Thursday each week, just to fit better with my life and keep myself sane. Here are the questions for this week:
- Are fidget spinners helpful in coping with skin picking disorder?
- I think about my psych hospitalization everyday. Is that normal?
- What is avoidant personality disorder?
As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
