Episode 239: Collective PTSD, No-Showing Therapy, Caregiving with Anxiety, Depression Options

Hello, friends! This week, I have another rapid-fire Q&A for you. I took some questions from the private Hardcore Self Help Facebook group and tackled them one by one without any planning or outlining. Hope you enjoy! Here are the questions covered: How do you feel about people using the term "collective PTSD"? What can I do when I always get scared and cancel therapy sessions? Are medications always necessary for severe depression? How can I be a caregiver with anxiety? As always, you can send me your questions or topics for the show to duffthepsych@gmail.com  Sponsors: Magic Spoon has great tasting, nostalgic cereal that is actually healthy.
