Welcome to the third episode of our Getting Help series on the I Thought I Was Over This podcast!

In part 3, Dr. Kimber looks at where to turn for professional help, offering thoughts and perspectives on therapy v. coaching — when they might be helpful, respectively, as well as what to look for in a provider so you can make the change you’re hoping to make.

Key moments include:

04:44 – Assessing your relationship with your parents and how the past has impacted the present to explore mental health support options.
07:00 – Helping your kids get the outside support they need is not an indicator of your success or failure as a parent.
08:05 – Single-event trauma and how you need professional help to process it.
10:22 – What’s the difference between licensed, certified, or trained professionals?
15:55 – Answering the question: “When should I get professional help?”
23:10 – How to find a good coaching fit and when working with a coach can be helpful.
25:25 – Support groups as one of the most underrated resources for alleviating mental health concerns.
28:52 – Books as a resource - and what to be mindful of.
