We are back for another round of Ask a Psychologist Anything. In this episode, I dive into various topics related to trauma, vulnerability management, therapist-client relations, and the balance between triggers and optimism. We discuss the balance between pushing for change and taking care of ourselves, the concept of the window of tolerance, and how it affects our emotional well-being. Join me as I provide insights, practical advice, and compassionate guidance on navigating trauma recovery and fostering mental well-being. Whether you're a survivor, a mental health professional, or simply interested in these topics, this podcast aims to create a supportive and informative space for everyone.
