This is another deep dive episode where I focus on one topic and give you more in depth information than I typically do on the Q&A episodes. In this one, I talk all about the different terminology related to mental health treatment. I talk about the different terms for treatment itself such as therapy, psychotherapy, and counseling as well as the different people who provide services such as psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, neurologists, and more.

Fair warning- this information is pretty USA based since some of the terminology varies, but I hope it is helpful nonetheless!

Next week will indeed be another Q&A episode, so keep sending your questions into me atduffthepsych@gmail.com or http://twitter.com/duffthepsych

On this episode, I talk with Heather Gray from ChooseToHaveItAll.com about how she has been able to overcome the very difficult speed bumps in her life by being brave and re-choosing to live a happy life. She is a super strong woman and I think that definitely comes through in the interview. We did experience a few little technical issues during the interview, but I tried my best to edit around them. Apologies if I missed anything.

Please check out Heather on twitter at http://twitter.com/HGrayLICSW and visit her website at http://www.choosetohaveitall.com/

Next week is another Q&A so make sure you are sending in your questions!

My Dissertation Results about Internet Therapy

IMG_9798

So, today is an awesome day because I finally submitted the final revisions on my doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology and uploaded the final document onto the academic interwebs. That means I AM DONE. No more research. No more school. YAYYYY!! The thing about academia is that it moves slow and it is this weird exclusive club where you need to pay money to journals to get the latest research to help guide your treatment. Pubmed and Google scholar have helped out a bit with giving mere mortals access to academic literature, but there is still quite a barrier. For that reason, I want to share with you, in normal person language, the results of my dissertation research. It’s actually pretty awesome and interesting.
