June 22 - RESERVED FOR VETS - Accountability Buddy

In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave, and Chad (aka Mental Joe) talk about how an accountability buddy is different from a sponsor or mentor, how to pick your buddy, how it may impact your relationship with them, and the different styles of accountability and communication work for different people. They discuss the kind of things we need to be held accountable for, why letting go of guilt and regret is essential for healing, and how long-term change is created by celebrating small victories, trusting the process, and looking for success over long intervals.

Mental Joe also tells us about his experience with TRE and Dr. Dave goes over some of the reasons those alternative treatments are not embraced by the VA and insurance companies.

“Making a lifestyle out of self-improvement and trying to be the best person you can be with what you have.”
