My guest today is Dr. Nick Fadoir. Aside from being a talented psychotherapist and all around wonderful human, Nick has been one of my best friends since we were 5 years old! I am joined by Nick on this special episode to discuss therapy, mindfulness, friendship, parenthood, and more.
Dr. Nick Fadoir is a clinical psychologist at the Lee County VA Healthcare Center. He works with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance-use issues. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical-Counseling Psychology from the University of South Alabama and completed his clinical internship at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center. His work seeks to integrate ideas and practices of the wisdom traditions with the best of psychological science.
In this episode we discuss:
-Pursuing careers based on how we wish to be perceived by others, versus what we truly care about.
-The opportunity to practice presence offered through being a psychologist.
-The paradox between self-acceptance and change.
-Why Nick began meditating and how it has impacted his life.
-Being the best version of ourselves.
-How Nick and I each define “spiritual” practice.
-The difficulties of forming new friendships in adulthood.
-Parenthood and how it changes (and doesn't change) one's life.
-And much more!
