Your Trickiest Mental Health Questions—Finally Answered (By a World-Renowned Therapist)


Listen Later

Why are we so stressed, and how can we deal with feeling powerless when the circumstances that cause our stress are completely out of our control? Sometimes improving your mental health is about the small moments we can control, and Dr. Julie Smith is sharing tips and tricks to help you find and get the most out of those moments. From health anxiety to world news, Dr. Julie’s tools you can use to tackle your fears and pull yourself out of a funk.

We begin by discussing one of the most common listener questions I get  — what do you do when you know what will make you feel better, but can’t bring yourself to do it? From there, we discuss tackling fears, finding purpose, and supporting your loved ones. As always, the episode offers actionable tips to help you improve your mental health now.
