0:00.0 | Okay, so Bob, I recently sent out a form to the listeners over social media to submit |
0:07.3 | short questions for you and I to answer and because I didn't have any emails really prepared |
0:14.7 | for us to answer and I thought I'd get, you know, five questions. Well, the form has been up for |
0:21.7 | a couple hours down. We have 101 responses. In the last episode, we got to a total of nine of the |
0:28.5 | questions. So let's see if we can do lighting around this time. But actually, before we get to |
0:34.2 | that Bob, I want to start with, actually we do have some emails. Okay. That I really should prioritize |
0:39.5 | because these people are patrons who emailed in. Okay. Okay. Anonymous patron says, |
0:44.4 | hi Dr. Kirk and Bob, do you have any suggestions for ways to talk to people experiencing a paranoid |
0:50.8 | psychotic break to convince them to seek medical support? I know I cannot force my ex-husband to |
0:55.6 | get help and he will not voluntarily do an inpatient program through the past traumatic experience. |

1:26.8 | used to work is they said, well, you don't need to get into a fight with somebody about who's |
1:31.6 | having a psychotic symptom like their hearing a voice or whatever. What you can do is you can say, |
1:36.4 | I don't hear that. That's not my experience of things right now. And then, you know, in this case, |
1:42.2 | you have a relationship. So maybe just gently suggesting, I really think this would be in your |
1:46.6 | interest. I think this is a good idea and I hope that you will. And then leaving it there is |
1:52.4 | probably best. And you know, watching that, you don't say that too much because you become a nag |
1:56.6 | and then as my old supervisor said, you'll stabilize the resistance because they'll just people |
