Great variety of questions this week. I start the episode off by sharing some of my personal strategies for coping with stress and anxiety. Then it's straight into the questions. In one of the questions, I mention an earlier episode focusing on internet therapy, so here's the link for that: <a href= "http://duffthepsych.com/episode10">http://duffthepsych.com/episode10</a>. Here are the questions I take: <ul> <li>How can I tell me Mom that I need help without her being disappointed in me?</li> <li>What should I do now that my therapist abandoned me?</li> <li>How do I get back to my old self when chronic illness has me depressed?</li> </ul> Please send me more questions!

Episode 39: Anxiety and Physical Symptoms

This is a podcast dedicated to answering your questions about mental health, anxiety, depression, relationships, sex, and life WITHOUT psychobabble BS. I am Dr. Robert Duff, a psychologist from Southern California, but I'm also a regular dude who legitimately wants to help out. I wrote the best selling books Hardcore Self Help: F**k Depression and Hardcore Self Help: F**K Anxiety. Those are available at http://hardcoreselfhelp.com
