This week we're graced by the likes of Clinical Psychology PhD candidate Emily Garfinkle, hailing from beautiful sunny San Francisco, California. We cover many topics on today's episode, including but not limited to: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (or PTSD); different types of stress (acute vs. chronic); mental illness and trauma; treatment programs (ex. Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Treatments) and meditation; veterans and clinical populations; the DSM and the most critical diagnostic criterion; and the resurgence of hallucinogenic drugs in clinical psychology (ex. Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA). 

We're always looking to get your feedback. If you've got an idea/recommendation for a guest or any commentary on the recent change in format, please reach out at [email protected], or you can find and interact with us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter!

Enjoy the refreshing taste of Episode 19. 

Stay thirsty (for knowledge).
