Happy Friday everyone! Hope y’all are doing well. Lately I have been focusing on mental health on the podcast, so I got Alex who is a therapist on the show. Alex talks about not knowing what to do in his teens/ early twenties, from being a professional partygoer to eventually making a difference: which is helping others through being a therapist. We talk about how he separates work from personal life, overthinking, letting go & pop psychology. Alex also talks about misconceptions about therapy and red flags to watch out for in therapists. Alex also talks about understanding trauma’s, triggers and how our feelings are validated but not always right. Thanks for this fun & informative convo Alex!
