It made a million questions go through my head, some specific to actual drug abuse, and some much broader. I do know one thing... If you're someone who has thought about giving a challenge like this a try, I say go for it. I certainly don't see how any bad could come from it! Also, I'd REALLY love feedback from this episode if possible, perhaps even more so than normal. It'll make more sense once you listen to the episode. Thank you as always for your support.

    A therapist by trade, Dr. Josh Friedman knew there was something missing relatively early on in his career. There were certain patients that would come into the therapy sessions and/or use the medications prescribed to them by a psychiatrist, but for these individuals, these forms of treatment just didn't seem to work. Surely, some got a LOT better, but the amount that didn't was too great for Dr. Friedman to ignore. In this episode, we dive into his journey of mixing the best of both the conventional and functional models of healthcare. The things that Dr. Friedman learned completely transformed the way he practices and, as a result, he has been able to have much higher success rates with those suffering with mental health issues.

    Highly Sensitive Person? No, it's not your friend, family member, or co-worker who is "too emotional." Highly Sensitive People, or HSPs, are people who process things different than the majority of people. They might feel more deeply, require long periods of time to contemplate things, and they can even be more sensitive to things like sounds and large crowds. This week, we interview an internet-friend of mine, Melissa Stevens. Melissa went the majority of her life knowing that something was different, but never know what it was! After getting some marketing advice from a business coach, she had her "aha" moment - the moment she realized there was a name for the what she had been experiencing her whole life! Melissa was an absolute pleasure to talk to, and I learned a lot! Psychology is a field that is forever expanding, and it will be amazing to see how many people will find their comfort in knowing they are in fact an HSP, when perhaps they've been wrongly misdiagnosed with a mental health challenge.
