132 SelfWork:  Where Do I Begin If I Want A Better Relationship? Change What You Do, What You Say and What You Think. That’s All.

I&#39;m Dr. Margaret, a psychologist for 30 years, TEDx speaker, and the author of Perfectly Hidden Depression. I created The SelfWork Podcast in 2016 to explain mental health treatment and to give you the chance to consider therapy without thinking it&#39;s weird or that it somehow suggests you can&#39;t fix your own problems. My team is very honored that eight years later, SelfWork has earned nearly 5 million downloads! Each episode features the popular listener question. You’ll also hear “You Get the Gist” segments - a five minute run-down of a current topic - as well as interviews with outstanding guests, authors, and experts, adding to the wide diversity of topics listeners so appreciate. Regularly rated as one of the top mental health/depression podcasts out there, I keep it short and casual - and I&#39;d love to hear from you. Please join me.

And as always, what you can do about it – meaning what you can do about it if you feel you don’t matter. We'll talk about the interweaving of depression and knowing you matter in this episode of SelfWork.

391 SelfWork: Life With Bipolar Disorder: A Conversation with Gabe Howard

The Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has stated that there is an epidemic of loneliness in the United States and the World Health Organization has declared it as a pressing global health threat, with a mortality effect equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In this episode, we’ll talk about loneliness, how simple acts of empathy can be vital to healing loneliness, and "the power of eight minutes" - a way of communicating about needing help, as suggested by thought leader Simon Sinek.

390 SelfWork: Loneliness, Empathy, and The Power of Eight Minutes

This week we're focusing on all of you who might see yourself or someone you love as being a HSP - or highly sensitive person. Given that 15 to 20% of the population is thought to “have” it – and I say that in quotes because it’s not something you have, it's something you are - it’s not an illness or a problem. It’s a personality trait. It characterizes you.
