16 — The Truth About Alcohol and Addiction Recovery with Former School Principal / Author Daniel Patterson
Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin
07/03/23 • 55 min
People struggling with addiction are often hiding in plain sight. They're your neighbors, co-workers, friends, and maybe even family members.
Daniel Patterson used to be one of those people. He was a high school teacher and assistant principal who had a serious, secret drinking problem. He sometimes tried to make changes — and even saw a therapist — but he minimized the impact alcohol had on his life until he finally couldn't ignore it anymore.
Some of the things he shares are the tricks his addiction played on him to convince him to keep drinking, the things he tried to reduce his drinking that didn't work, and the short-term experiment that eventually led to recovery.

23 — Friday Fix: How to Empower Yourself and Stop Letting Others Mistreat You
Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin
07/28/23 • 24 min
If you've ever felt frustrated by people who treat you poorly, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to empower yourself.
But first, it's important to recognize why you allow yourself to be mistreated. You might be surprised by what the research says about the link between low self-esteem and mistreatment from others. Once you develop a better understanding of why mistreatment occurs in the first place, you can decide if you're ready to establish boundaries and prioritize self-respect.
Make sure to listen to the end of the episode for the question of the week. And if you have a question you'd like answered by a therapist, email me at [email protected] and I'll consider featuring it on a future Friday Fix episode.

Your brain health is affected by everything from how much sleep you get to how much time you spend on your digital devices.

Jim Kwik, brain coach and author of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, says we should put more energy into improving our cognitive abilities. He says there are many things we can do to unlock the power of our brains. Some of the things he shares are:

- How magnesium can improve sleep quality and reduce restlessness at night.

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin
05/13/24 • 57 min
Panic attacks and anxiety are common. But almost no one talks about how to deal with them.
For years, Matt Gutman, the Chief National Correspondent for ABC News, kept his panic attacks secret. He worried what people would think if he revealed his mental health struggles. After years of suffering in silence, followed by years of searching for help, he's written a book to help others learn how to cope with panic attacks. Some of the things he shares are the link between anxiety and his childhood trauma, the treatments he found most effective, and the steps he takes to manage his mental health.
