Summary

Entry #40. Today I am joined by psychodynamic therapist Dr. Shelby Reep for a vulnerable conversation about mental health, trauma, and healing. Dr. Reep has a doctorate in clinical psychology and uses a trauma-informed approach to work with patients on a variety of topics, including religious trauma. As someone who has dealt with severe religious trauma, I was moved and encouraged by our conversation, and I hope this episode reaches anyone who may need it. Around the one hour mark, we also discussed listener FAQs, such as, "can therapists tell when their patient is the villain?" and, "what public perceptions surrounding mental health do therapists wish to correct?" This episode is raw, honest, emotional, and one of my personal favorites. I hope you enjoy. See you next Monday x FIND DR.
