TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide and mental health are heavily discussed in this episode!
Welcome to part 2 of Questions & Answers with Ann Guzman. This episode gets more into the meat of discussing depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking and the process of seeking outside help.
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.
