A Therapist Takes Her Own Advice - Introduction

06/10/20 • 12 min

This episode of A Therapist Takes Her Own Advice is a sort of mission statement. I wanted to introduce myself and talk a little about my life, my practice and my goals for this podcast. Talking about myself felt weird so my husband/producer suggested that we frame this episode with a casual conversation. We discuss my background, my goals for this podcast, and a DBT skill called the STOP skill. I hope you enjoy listening. Please subscribe and look for future episodes where I'll be chatting with interesting people about parenting, self care, and a monthly meditation.
