How do you know if you or a loved one need to seek therapy? In this episode we are talking about mental health. Both of us have experienced our own mental health challenges. We’ve also experienced the emotional effects of witnessing a loved one struggle with mental health.  We delve into simple ways we’ve begun to educate ourselves, and discuss the tools we are successfully using to identify unhealthy behavioral patterns. We also share the steps we’ve taken to disrupt negative patterns, and venture down the path to healing. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!
