I’m Robert, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Southern California, and author of the bestselling Hardcore Self Help book series. I also host a weekly podcast where I address reader questions and interview others in the mental health field.
In episode 278, I received a question from an individual struggling with depression, unsure of where to turn next. In this post, I walk through some of the fundamental aspects to consider when tackling depression and discuss how there are still options to consider when faced with treatment-resistant depression.
Opening up in therapy is hard. Add in poor previous experiences with an unprofessional therapist and it can become super difficult to persevere with. In episode 278, I received a question from a listener who was subject to sexual advances from their therapist leaving them, quite understandably, uncomfortable and feeling unable to create meaningful connections in therapy today. In this post, I dive into why this is completely unacceptable and should never happen as well as offer my advice on how to move forward and begin a positive working connection with a new therapist.
