The Neutral Ground Podcast with Dr. Joe Meyer

Practical Ways to Deal with Anxiety, Depression, and Obsession | With Therapist Laurie Singer | #11


Listen Later

I do apologize upfront for some of the audio issues. We were having some difficulty maintaining a strong internet connection. In this episode of the Neutral Ground Podcast, I'm joined by a special guest: Laurie Singer. Laurie has over 20 years of experience as a board-certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. Her new book You're Not Crazy: Living with Anxiety, Obsessions, and Fetishes gives both insight into some of the most pressing mental health issues of today and real-world tools to help deal with these issues. We talk about the elevated levels of anxiety in both young people and adults; I ask Laurie to give some advice for parents who are trying to navigate these precarious times in which we live; we discuss the important role that narrative building plays in mental health; the impact of social media on young people and their perceived visions of their bodies; and we talk what people can do to support loved ones who might be struggling--when is tough love the right call? We get into that in this discussion. 

You can find Laurie's book on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Not-Crazy-Obsessions-Fetishes/dp/1735944815/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=you%27re+not+crazy+laurie+singer&qid=1631599654&sr=8-1.   

You can also learn more about Laurie and the tools that have helped so many people find a new lease on life at https://www.yourenotcrazybook.com/

None of the links above are affiliate links. I just believe that this book can actually help some people.

  5. Finally, and most importantly, just be kind and patient with others in conversation. Try to model for those around you the difference between conversation and debate. Debate and dialogue are not the same thing. We need more dialogue in our everyday speech, and we need to limit debate to where it is most needed and useful.
