Week two of Wondermind’s Baggage Drop begins with host clinical psychologist Ryan Howes, PhD, exploring our many types of support. Recognizing our external “yeses'' and working on inner support both turn out to be crucial for long-term success. Dr. Howes then guides us to harness inner support by following a series of prompts about those you admire.
