In this episode Mariska and I cover some of the ethical challenges a therapist faces when deciding whether or not to report a case to DCFS. I review a situation a young therapist I am supervising shared with me.

This is my segment on the Trevor J. Brown show where we respond to questions from his listeners about mental health challenges or dilemmas. Don't worry, Mariska is still by my side even when I record with Trevor.

Audrey Grunst from Simply Bee and I partnered up to answer some questions about Emotional Support Animals. Mariska wasn't present for this one, which may explain why I may be less than perfect in my delivery. We realized there was one question we didn't answer so we tacked it on at the end.

In this episode Mariska and I talk about the power of taking risks in a therapy session by trusting your therapist with emotional challenges that are hard to talk about.

In this episode Mariska and I discuss how to deal with the odd grief feeling we get when we think we might be experiencing our last time with a place, activity, relationship, etc....

In this episode Mariska and I talk about how different siblings mental health presentation can be, the book No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler, and whether or not we should go out of our way to clean up misunderstandings with friends and co-workers if we were not the one that cause the issue.

In this briefest of episodes I share a question raised in my own therapy session about whether my pro-stoicism mindset can have some negative repercussions and lead to creating anxiety.

Mariska and I also encourage you to watch the movie Emilia Perez. This is a strange but powerful film which is worth watching but hard to describe without giving too much away.

In this episode Mariska and I reflect on the year gone by and the changes we hope to see in the year to come. We discuss existential angst and the ethics of when therapists should and shouldn't do with "secret" information they learn about their clients from other sources.

Hi,

This is an episode of the Trevor J. Brown show which I had the pleasure of being a guest on where we answer listener mental health questions. We will be doing it again in January so you can send questions to me or to Trevor.

In this episode Mariska and I explore some scenarios (getting back into dating while grieving a past relationship, a memorial service for a loved one, birth, graduation, etc...) that people may not feel like they are ready for and how to decide if you should give it more time or take the leap.
