In this episode we talk about some basic core human needs and how, when threatened, we can react in ways that are ultimately unhelpful.

In this full premiere episode Dr. Michele invites you to an inside look into what it took for her to stop kidding herself about personal mental health barriers she had in her own life, hint-sometimes it takes a friend sticking the telephone in your ear! We talk about what kind of moments happen when all of the smoke, dust and chaos starts to clear from your mind and how to start to tackle the tough stuff you are dealing with… AND we start to address how to NOT take ownership of mistreatment that no one should ever have to face.
