Cohosts Michelle Collins, PK Langley and Seth Showalter sit down for the final installment of the "Silent Sadness Series" to explore coping strategies for depression. After embracing vulnerability via a mental minute, the team shares both professional and personal experiences regarding coping strategies. The team clarifies the difference between what is a "healthy" coping mechanism versus a "unhealthy" coping mechanism. In discussing unhealthy coping strategies, they also explore potential co-morbid diagnoses and/or struggles a person may experience. The idea behind this episode is to provide you with actual tools that you can use to fight depression if this is something you experience.

Michelle Collins sat out on this interview in order to participate in body building competitions. In her absence, Seth Showalter speaks with PK Langley as a special guest to talk about suicide intervention. Fair warning: this conversation may be triggering to some.

Suicide is an epideamic in our society that doesn't discriminate. PK and Seth explore this phenomenon in our society including who is most at risk as well as potential warning signs. Together, they explore ways supporting someone who is having suicidal ideation as well as things to keep in mind. This is an important conversation. 

The National Suicide Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals. Help is one phone call away: 800-273-8255 (TALK).

In this episode, Michelle Collins and Seth Showalter bring on special guest, PK Langley.

While this is a serious episode, Michelle kicks things off with a giggle fit. In fact, multiple takes were required to get this off the ground. This material has been released to our patrons.

After catching up on their lives over the last week, Michelle, Seth and PK discuss of overview of Major Depressive Disorder.  Using DSM V criteria used to diagnose, they discuss how each component of criteria plays out in real life. This is a valuable conversation full of clinical insights and personal examples. 

Rather than finishing out the month with the last episode of the Shattered Image Series, Michelle and Seth decided to break things up with an extended mental minute. In this episode, they discuss the "art of argument" by venting through their own recent frustrations with conflict resolution. Seth owns up to being really bad at conflict resolution while Michelle provides real life experience along with suggestions at working through it. This is a rare episode in that it is not part of a series but a stand alone episode!
