Today’s episode is Joplin’s experience with addressing his mental health. This one is a bit heavy as he touches on his own experience with his own diagnoses, the slow burn of events during childhood that continued through graduating from college, and the normalization of abuse within one's life. 

Joplin also discusses what he learned from therapy, what to expect from therapy, and the process of having to find someone that fits your needs, personality, as well as the use of medication as a tool to facilitate a desired outcome. 

If you or a loved one feel you need direction, an ear, a professional, or any type of guidance understand that there are a number of resources at your disposal. A few examples are reaching out to your insurance provider, they can provide names and numbers to people in-network, psychologytoday.com has a database of finding professionals and support groups near you, and finally leveraging the people close to you for support.  

Enjoy.
