TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide and mental health are heavily discussed in this episode!
Ann Guzman is a therapist that specializes in mental health specifically for those who are suicidal, at Lakeside DBT and Recovery DBT. In this two-part series, Ann discusses her role as a therapist, what DBT is and exactly how she helps others apply regulation/coping methods to their day to day mental health, especially in crisis scenarios. Ann answers questions I collected from listeners and those around me whom I asked, “What is a question you would ask a therapist?”
I believe you take on a whole lot by being a therapist but to specifically help patients who are suicidal takes not only special education, learning, and skill but also a heart big enough to care. Our hope is to answer all of your questions and if you do not hear it in this episode, look forward to hearing it in part 2, which will air next Tuesday. Happy listening!
