What are your recommendations for achieving mental wellness?
It's important to have realistic expectations when dealing with problems or struggles. It's unlikely that they will be solved overnight. Change takes time and can be difficult. However, it's crucial to celebrate the small victories along the way to stay motivated and encouraged. To enhance your overall well-being and satisfaction, prioritize the important elements that provide comfort and joy in your life. These include nurturing relationships with friends and family, the companionship of pets, engaging in enjoyable work and activities, incorporating humor into your daily routine, finding solace in faith or spirituality, staying physically active, maintaining a balanced diet with good nutrition, ensuring adequate rest and sleep for rejuvenation, and fostering a positive attitude towards life.
What advice would you give to a person struggling with low self-esteem or with lack of self confidence?
If you're looking to boost your confidence in any undertaking, it's often helpful to start with smaller, achievable tasks. By breaking down a larger goal into more manageable steps, you can take the first simple step towards progress. For instance, if your aim is to learn how to play the guitar, start by setting a goal of learning just one chord. This approach allows you to build momentum and gain confidence as you accomplish these initial easy wins. Achieving even small milestones can be highly fulfilling and can provide the motivation to continue working towards your ultimate objective. It's also crucial to show self-compassion and understanding when you're not able to make as much progress as desired.
Where Can I Go To Find Therapy?
The effectiveness of therapy can vary depending on the specific mental health condition, symptoms, and the individual seeking help. For instance, children may benefit more from a therapist who specializes in children's mental health. It is important to consider these factors when choosing the type of therapy that would be most beneficial for someone. When it comes to addressing various conditions, there are multiple treatment and therapy opt

Speaker 3:I'm so excited. Come on, sly. That's how we did. It is done. All right, yo, what do we got? Okay, This is a really cool story.
Speaker 1:A mother in Arizona woke to find she was trapped in the second story of her apartment home. Is that quickly engulfed in flames? Okay, claudia Jimenez opened the window and called out to anyone who could hear, needing somehow to find a way to escape, while the front door was blocked by the fire. Dumbo, you don't need the feather, i'm going. Yeah, i'm going. The first person on the scene wasn't a firefighter. It was Joe Hollins, who lived in a homeless encampment with his wife near Jimenez's house.
Speaker 3:Is it Jimenez or Jimenez It?
Speaker 1:could be Jimenez, okay, jimenez Jimenez. Okay, jay Jimenez Jimenez, probably Yeah. So there was a gentleman that lived in a homeless encampment right near this apartment building And this person heard the woman.
Speaker 3:This is Jimenez.
Speaker 1:This is Jimenez yelling. Okay, joe. Hollins said. All I see is a lady. Pull open the window and she's screaming. Please help me. Please help me, hollins told CBS News.
Speaker 1:The mother of two then had to make a difficult choice. It's not unusual or prejudicial to be wary of people living on the streets, But for her one year old daughter, valerie, and eight year old Natalie, hollins may have been their only hope of survival Under the window. Hollins called Diimenez, saying that he would catch the children in his arms. How? two floors up, yes. Second floor, all right. Yep, 20 feet, yep. Under the window, yeah, she trusted the man and not only dropped Valerie and Natalie, but the two dogs as well. Wow, it took Diimenez herself a while to summon the courage to jump, but she managed it, and Hollins still had the strength to catch her as well.
Speaker 1:Wow, as things calmed down, the family thanked Hollins profusely, though the man said he did not want. He did what anyone would do in that situation. Yes, anyone would. Those were children, he said. I will forever be thankful to him. You know, said Diimenez. Like I said to me, he was an angel. Diimenez said Because of him we're here, we're alive and my daughters are safe While the family lost everything. Community members are helping, support them to get back on their feet, while viewers at CBS want to know how they can help support Hollins and honor what he did. That's great, homeless. I mean, i'm not going to tell you a story. I don't want to read it first. This homeless man saves family from apartment fire. You have to read that first. Well, no, because that ruins the punchline.
Speaker 3:So is it.
Speaker 2:Oh, good for you.
Speaker 3:His adrenaline kicked in and he was able to catch. He just did the right thing And I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean the fact that he's homeless shouldn't have anything to do with his humanity.
Speaker 2:No, not at all.
Speaker 1:But I mean that kind of adds to it because it doesn't. And here's, here's the kind of the prejudice and what happens in society. You kind of see somebody that's homeless and you think worthless.
Speaker 3:I'll catch you. Is there anyone else that can help me?
Speaker 1:Well, i mean honestly but that's, that's the first thought. But in this case, ok, he is homeless, but he did. He did the human being the brave thing.
Speaker 3:And he was there before the fire. You got there before the fire department before anybody got there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, he was first on the scene. So yeah, i think it's a great story to Rollins Hollins Hollins I want to make sure I get his first name, joe Hollins, who is the homeless man who helped the family into the M&S family. Like it's just great story. It's just a cool story And you know what what human beings should do? Just help each other out, love it, do the right thing. Definitely one of the week.
Speaker 2:That's how we did is done.
Speaker 3:So back to it.
Speaker 2:So back to it, i'm getting better and better at that.
Speaker 1:You are getting the sound down Sidebar. I know you probably. you gave up on walking dead long.
Speaker 3:I did I did.
Speaker 1:I did too.
Speaker 3:I was in the middle of the season after season eight, i think it was. It was the season after Rick left, and that's when I kind of lost interest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i just kind of lost track of it. Now are you? are you looking at any of these new spin offs that?
Speaker 3:are starting now. They have more spin offs coming. They had fear of the walking dead fear of the walking dead.
Speaker 1:Now it's stories about that, the original group, that are No, okay, no. So I and I probably won't some of you maybe fans and I'm not knocking it. I have no idea what it is. I don't know what it is. I'm not knocking it, i think it's the same thing. I don't know what it is, but I think it's really nice. I think it's the same thing And I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I'm just going to kind of give you a little bit of a little bit of a recap of it, but Maggie and Negan are going to Manhattan. Really, daryl's going to Paris on as for his own show, and I think there's a third one.
Speaker 1:And I don't forgive me if you guys out there know this, but these are like the new series now coming out after the main group has just gone their own ways.
Speaker 3:So supernatural, season two of Supernatural.
Speaker 1:She played Bella Yeah.
Speaker 3:Right And I forgot completely. Oh, and then you saw her.
Speaker 1:And then I'm like holy shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but that Negan, you know he's the, he's dad. Yeah, right, and I've actually saw the, the gentleman from Breaking Bad the business owner. Oh the business owner. Yes, the business owner who was sleeping with Walter 's wife. Yes, right, yes, he was actually in an episode of Supernatural, like holy shit, because you see all these faces from way back when, and then you kind of see their careers and where it took them.
Speaker 1:It's it's so funny. There's a lot of crossover with these.
Speaker 2:These shows like Supernatural way to go Bad lost.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like Hank from Breaking Bad had a bit part and lost. It is just, yeah, it is crazy to see these crossovers.
Speaker 3:So hey, people got to work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, anyway. so here we're talking about Q and A meant to health, q and A We're going to finish this up.
Speaker 3:I hope so, we'll see.
Speaker 1:All right, we don't. We'll finish it sometime, all right? I mean, we have plenty of questions, so let me see where we left off You would tease the last question.
Speaker 3:You know, and it was where can I find?
Speaker 1:Oh, there we go. Where can I go to find therapy, correct, so so here's the thing, and I'm gonna I'm gonna cover two questions with this, because there's another one that are what are the different types of mental health professionals? I'm gonna cover these in one question, okay, okay, so I'm gonna start with the types of mental health professionals and then I'll tell you where to find these people. That makes it that I think that just is a better order.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna sit back here. There are m doctors, actual doctors, who practice psychiatry. Right, they are medical doctors. They prescribe medication. Very few, if any, do actual therapy anymore. That's not the system, the way it's set up right now. That's interesting. They manage medications for the most part. So, for example, are you a psychiatrist at that point? Or, yes, that's a psychiatrist. Okay, they're an MD, they're a medical doctor who prescribes medications. Okay, all right, there may be psychiatrists who do actual therapy. I don't know of any myself. That used to be the case, but it's kind of morphed into more medication management. Okay, they deal with psychotropic medications and monitoring those medications.
Speaker 1:So for example, our psychiatrist. When he works in our office he people who are existing clients. He will see them for 20 minutes at a time to review their medications and make sure everything's working right, make sure there are no side effects. But 20 minutes is not enough time to really get into the meat of issues or talk about things Not even close bud.
Speaker 1:So really, it's psychiatrists are really that. They're they prescribe and they manage and regulate medications. Okay, the other doctor that you may see could be a psychologist. Now, a psychologist is somebody who has a PhD in psychology. Okay, four year, eight year, for whatever it takes to get that doctorate in psychology. They are not a medical doctor. They cannot prescribe medications. They're just a doctor of psychology. Okay, a lot of doctors in psychology, a lot of psychologists who are doctors. A lot of them do a lot of research or or they do testing, things like that that are involved in the psychological welfare of other people. So those are the two doctors that are in the mental health field. Okay, psychiatrist, psychiatrist and psychologist. Psychiatrist can prescribe medication. Psychologist cannot they're.
Speaker 3:They're a psychologist, not a PSychologist.
Speaker 1:They're a PhD, not an MD.
Speaker 3:They're a psychiatrist not a PSychiatrist.
Speaker 1:Yes, I have a PSychiatrist. So those are two doctors. Beyond below that are what we call master's degree level clinicians. Okay, people have a master's degrees and they can be of any many disciplines. The three major ones are social work, psychology and counseling.
Speaker 3:My partner person has masters in social work, correct.
Speaker 1:Okay. So the differences between them is is let me start with the masters in psychology. psychology, They are what we call a limited license psychologist. Okay, right, They have a master's degree, but they cannot be fully licensed as a psychologist unless they get their PhD. So a limited license psychologist is always working under a fully licensed psychologist because they have a limited license. right, That makes sense.
Speaker 3:It does they. They have to pass through their superior that they they are, they're monitored.
Speaker 1:this in-in Um supervised by a superior, that's the word.
Speaker 3:I was the supervised.
Speaker 1:Yes, now you can do that for the rest of your life and never go any further as a limited licensed psychologist. If you want to do that, many don't go on to get their PhD or get their doctorate. The PhD is the doctorate, right. Right, but you can work that way as long as you're under a fully licensed psychologist. Interesting People with a master's degree in social work and counseling can be fully licensed. I am a licensed professional counselor. I'm fully licensed. I can practice independently. I don't need a supervisor. I can see people as a therapist. I'm licensed by the state of Michigan, your partner, your partner has a master's in social work.
Speaker 1:Yes, she can see people for therapy with her license, and now it's probably an LMSW, i'm guessing I believe so. Yep, she can see people for therapy without a supervision, without having to have a boss or somebody to supervise her. She's an independent therapist. She's licensed by the state of Michigan. She has a full license. I have a full license. So those, those are the different entities. Now.
Speaker 1:Now there are also some offshoots. You have what we call family and family and marriage and family therapists. That's a specific certification under those umbrellas. So they still have to have a master's degree in one and something Social work, psychology, whatever counseling But that's like an additional certificate that specializes them to do family and marriage counseling. Okay, does that make sense? It does So. So, no matter what, if you're going to see a therapist, if you're going to get mental health help, that the people you see at minimum have a master's degree in their discipline. Right, they could be a doctor, they could be a MD, they could be a PhD, they could be a master's in social work. They could be a limited licensed psychologist. They could be a licensed professional counselor. It's. It's so confusing for clients and for for the lay people out there, and that's why I want to make sure I kind of explain this Right.
Speaker 3:And I'll I'll to go, i guess, one step further is if you are confused, because it is it is confusing Very.
Speaker 3:There are organizations and I know I've mentioned this before. There are organizations that will help you, you know, walk down the path that you need. Yes, for example, and I've set up for Easter Seals They will help folks find the resources that they need. Absolutely, and when you speak with a clinician, those are, those are educated people that have those licenses, yes, so they can do an intake, so they can put you on the path to success. Correct, absolutely. But it's up to the person, the patients, to take that path.
Speaker 1:So here's what I would say. Those are the different types. Now we're going to go back to the questions of where can I find therapy, because this plays into where you're going to go. One I would say check out a facility's website. Most reputable places will have a website with information, with staff bios. It will list their schooling. It will say they're a licensed professional counselor Isn't that they have to do? Or licensed master social worker, don't they have?
Speaker 1:to do that by law, not necessarily on a website, no, no, by law. we just have to have our licensures posted in our workplace, okay, so here's the thing If you're seeing somebody for therapy, if you're seeing somebody for mental health therapy in particular, they have to be licensed. So and I don't think this would happen, because if you go to a place that just says we do counseling or therapy, the first thing you want to ask is is make sure that they're licensed, because without a license, they shouldn't be practicing legally in Michigan Or in other states. it's the same. Most states have the same structure, most all of the other states.
Speaker 1:if you're listening from outside of Michigan now nation, other nations, i'm not so sure you're gonna have to check your local requirements or your local I don't know Mental health resources to find out what it is there. So if you're going to see somebody for therapy, they should be licensed, and Most there I mean if you're they're portraying themselves as therapists they should be licensed. That's the whole point. So where do you go? Check out their website. You can check out their staff bios and most people that most sites that have these staff bios.
Speaker 1:It's gonna give you some background on the person you're saying, and I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1:like in my bio on our website, on our Honor clinic website, it states that I worked with teenagers through through high school and college, that I went on to get my bachelor's degree in psychology And then moved on from there to get my master's in counseling and I've been working clinically for 30 years And I work with people with anxiety and depression and I specialize in hypnosis because I'm certified with that Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:So it gives you a background of you know where people went to school, what they did when they were younger, well, what, what. it kind of gives you an idea of why they went into this field and gives you some feel for their personality, love it. and you need that to connect to a therapist, because a lot of times Therapists might be good and I guess there's no, there is good and bad. Believe me that I'm gonna say this there are bad therapists out there. so When you go to see someone, make sure it feels like something you connect with, and the best way to do that is to read about them on Whatever website they're on, but you're not gonna really know them until you actually meet them, and and if you meet them And you feel like it's not clicking you as the patient, as the client, you have the right to say I want to see somebody different.
Speaker 1:Don't go with it just because you think you're stuck with it. You always have a choice to see, to see somebody else or to go to a different place, totally.
Speaker 3:That happens and see it. You know what I owe Tony. Yeah, a message, yes, just to let him know that I'm doing okay.
Speaker 1:Oh, good Okay.
Speaker 3:I do owe him that message.
Speaker 1:Yep, i will. I will pass that along.
Speaker 1:Please do yes, i will. I will do that, yeah, so so, where to go? if you look online and you just look for mental health clinics or Therapy or counseling and again you're gonna get a huge variety of results, the big thing is is to see, make sure that the clinicians are licensed That's the biggest thing and check out the website, that The website should answer most of your questions. If you look at somebody's website and you're still unsure about what they do, i Just I feel like it. It should be pretty clear what the place is about through their website. Now there might be somebody who's who might be old school and they don't believe in a website, but nowadays you should get most of your information from that right.
Speaker 1:If you go to my website, our website, counseling and therapy associates com You'll see a bio of, you'll see information about the practice. It's gonna give you cost. It's gonna give you what insurances we take. It's gonna give you a whole list of all of the roster of our therapists, what their licensures are, what their background is. It's gonna give you directions. It's gonna give you actually, in our site We also give away free information, free help guides. With that there, you can go to our website right now, absolutely free. Just download an anxiety handbook How to deal with anxiety. That's there on our website for free. You don't have to see anyone, you don't have to talk to anyone. You can just download it from the website Because we feel like we want to give people something that can be helpful for them.
Speaker 1:That's very gracious. No and but, but. I think that's what mental health should be. We want to reach out and be able to help as many people as we can, and some people might be a little, especially dealing with anxiety. You know, and I've said this before it's tough. It's tough to even use the phone for some of these people to call a place.
Speaker 1:Here's the other thing that that I would say would be also be ideal, and again I can say it because it's on our website. You can go to our website, fill out a form online never talk to anybody and submit it. It's that easy. You don't have to interact with another human being until we call you to set up your first appointment Right and and we will get back. You can put in your insurance information. We get back to you by text or email to say yes, we take it, we'll be in contact. It just makes. It just makes the process easier, and I think that's To make mental health more accessible. It should be easier to get right and that's the problem sometimes, that people don't know where to go. So, anyway, i would look and see what Go online to a search. The other great resource is your insurance company. If you have insurance, most insurance companies will list providers in their site in network, in network, in network, to make sure that that yes, to make sure it's going to be covered by your insurance.
Speaker 1:Now Here's the key thing with this. Say, for example, you go to Blue Cross Blue Shield and you see my name, david Wright. I'm a provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield. It may give my name In a in information of where I work, but that's all you get. So, right, right, if you're going to do that for a therapist, look them up, look for their, look for their, their website again, i want you to go to the website and get as much information as you can. Get as much information as you can. That's the best way to look as a layman.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's called due diligence. Yes, you have to do your homework before you make a decision.
Speaker 1:And, and I agree, most of the time when people are looking for therapy, they want, they want somebody ASAP, and I get that. but don't take shortcuts to make it fast because you might not get somebody. That's good for you or that's qualifier. I shouldn't say qualified. I can say that they might be licensed, but doesn't mean they're qualified, got it, doesn't mean they're good, got it. That's the big thing All right.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we go from where can I find therapy to types of mental health treatment. Okay, okay, so what? what do you want to talk to somebody about? What are you seeking help with? Is it anxiety? Is it depression? Is it substance abuse? is it? is it Self-esteem, is it co-dependence and a relationship?
Speaker 3:would it be sexual abuse You?
Speaker 1:could. You could be abuse issues as children. There's so many different things that people can can Talk about and get better as far as therapy goes. So here's the other thing if you look somebody up again I'll use my name as an example if you go say, oh, david, right, he's on my insurance, let me go to his website. Then you're reading my bio and say, oh, look, he works with people with anxiety. That's one of his major things. That's what I'm struggling with. That will connect you more so to that person's because they you know that there.
Speaker 1:Now I will say most therapists are kind of eclectic. They probably dealt with a lot of issues, especially if they've been in practice for as long as I have I've been doing this for 30 years. But some people might not be comfortable therapists. Specifically, i have therapists in my office. We have we have a 12 13 therapists now Some therapists prefer not to work with couples. It's just not their forte. Some some therapists don't want to deal with sexual abuse because it's something they're just not comfortable with, sure. So that's the whole thing.
Speaker 1:There are all kinds of different types of mental health treatment And again, you need to go to the place that's going to address those. If it's substance abuse, there are definitely specific places that deal with that. Mm-hmm, they're inpatient place, they're inpatient programs. They're community programs, like the Guidance Center and Community Cares that deals and has what they call intensive outpatient substance abuse groups. Oh yeah, so it depends on what you're dealing with, but whatever it is that there is somebody out there that can help you with what you're struggling with or what you're dealing with. Oftentimes you might need to find a place that has a psychiatrist, because maybe you need medication. Great, that's always a possibility. So if you go to a clinic that doesn't have a psychiatrist, then you might have to find one on your own. Mm-hmm, but these are things that you kind of have to take into account And it's not easy And I know it might seem overwhelming. Just even the last 20 minutes of what I explained might be just jumbled in your head. My head's swimming, so I have to go back and listen.
Speaker 3:But here's the thing.
Speaker 1:Yes, here's the thing. Go back and listen again, because the main things I want you to take from this is that if you go to a therapist, they have to be licensed, and they are licensed. If they call themselves a therapist or they should be They can be a. It doesn't matter if they're a social worker, a psychologist or a counselor. They all have at least a master's degree and they're licensed by a state of Michigan or whatever state you're in.
Speaker 1:If you need medication, you have to see a psychiatrist. That's a doctor, and in many clinics such as ours have a psychiatrist on staff. So you'll see a therapist and then you'll see a psychiatrist for medication. Typically, that's how it works. You can find doctors, psychiatrists on your own that are independent. That's another route that you can take. So it all depends on what your needs are.
Speaker 1:So, again, i would drill down and find something that you're comfortable with. That really is what it comes down to, and it's hard to make it more specific than that, because there's no go to step A, b, c, d and you'll be in the right place, because there are a lot of variables. Again, it depends on what your symptoms are, what you're dealing with, whether you need medication or not, who you're comfortable with, whether you want a male or female. That plays into it as well. Absolutely Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean there's a lot of things that play into you finding the right mental health professional for you. So here's what I want to leave you with. As Matt said, do your due diligence. I know sometimes it feels like you're overwhelmed with the issue that you're dealing with and that becomes difficult, but I guarantee you the work you put in upfront is going to be well worth it as you get into this process, because now you don't have to go through three or four therapists to find one that fits for you. You can start off with the right one based on the research that you did, and that is key.
Speaker 3:That is absolutely key, because you put the work into it, you put into it what you get out of it.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely. And again, I know if you're dealing with depression or anxiety, that might seem overwhelming.
Speaker 3:The other way around You get out of it what you put into it, you do.
Speaker 1:But it's well worth that effort upfront. Now, if you have any questions and I know again this might be those listening your head might be spinning that oh, if I took a test I'd fail this. Don't worry. If you have questions, just drop it on the Facebook page Motor City Hypnotist Facebook page I'll answer. If you have any specific or general questions, just let me know there And definitely somebody will get back to you and answer those. So, believe it or not, matt.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're going to do part seven and eight.
Speaker 2:Yes, We kind of have to.
Speaker 1:We're going to continue to answer questions about mental health, because these are questions that I think are valuable and are useful to you as listeners. And, yeah, we're going to answer some more questions.
Speaker 3:Can I share a memory?
Speaker 3:Yes you can share a memory. So this was eight years ago. Yes, this is one of my Facebook memories And I made this post. Yes, and the title of the post is called Everyone Loves Drunk People Drunk People, drunk People.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, i was taken at 3 am by a man pounding loudly on the door. The man got up and went to the door where a drunken stranger standing in the pouring rain asked for a push. Not a chance, said the husband. It's 3 am in the morning. He slammed the door and returned to bed.
Speaker 3:Who was that? Asked the wife. Just some drunk guy asking for a push. He answered Did you help him? She asked No, i didn't help him. It's three in the morning. It was pouring rain out there. Well, you have a short memory, said the wife. Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? You think, i think you should help him and you should be ashamed of yourself. God loves drunk people too. The man did as he was told got dressed and went out into the pouring rain. He called out into the dark Hello, are you still there? Yes, came back the answer. Do you still need a push? Called out the husband. Yes, the ladies came to reply from the dark. Where are you, asked the husband over here on the swing, replied the drunk.
Speaker 1:I was just wondering, okay. I was just wondering well, you're not going to push a guy out who's drunk in his vehicle. That would not be a good thing. No, it would not. I want to encourage drunk driving.
Speaker 2:What happened.
Speaker 3:I saw that pop up and it's one of my favorites. That's awesome Yeah.
Speaker 1:Awesome folks. We're going to be back with a mental health Q&A again. We're going to come back with more questions and answers. You know what I just realized? I don't have a dog for this show.
