DJ and Dennis Mental Health Podcast “We’re Not Experts — Just Honest.”
Welcome to the podcast where we unpack what really happens after the heartbreak, behind the mask, and beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating trauma bonds, unpacking toxic cycles, rebuilding trust, or searching for clarity in your mental health journey — you’re not alone.
Each episode, we explore real conversations about:
- Healing from past relationships
- DBT therapy, EMDR, ADHD, PTSD, and depression
- Narcissistic abuse, intimacy disorders, and emotional regulation
- Family dynamics, suicidal ideation, and how to pick the right therapist
- And the unspoken question: “Who do I even tell?”
We blend clinical insights with lived experience, bring on mental health experts and special guests, and hold space for the truth you’ve been carrying too long.
If you’re ready to turn pain into purpose — and conversation into connection — this is your home.
