About 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.

In this special recap episode of the Dennis & DJ Mental Health Podcast, we revisit four of our biggest and most impactful conversations — the episodes that resonated most with listeners and challenged us to think deeper about healing, accountability, mental health, relationships, fatherhood, resilience, and growth. We reflect on what stood out, what we learned, what still hits home, and how our perspectives may have changed since those original conversations. This isn’t just a “best of”...

Episode 10: The Cost of Not Healing
Avoiding healing doesn’t mean we’re not hurting — it just means we’re still carrying it. In this season finale, we zoom out to look at how unresolved pain shapes every part of our life. From the relationships we choose to the way we communicate, protect, or lash out — what we don’t heal shows up anyway. But healing doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to begin. https://www.instagram.com/djdennismh?igsh=azMyMnMwN3E5ZXc5&utm_source=qr https://www.youtube.com/@DJDennisMH

Let’s talk about the other side of emotional disconnection.

Episode 8: The Fear of Being Too Much
Overexplaining. Oversharing. Feeling like you’re ‘too intense’ to be loved. In this episode, we unpack the emotional shame so many of us carry — and how that fear of being “too much” can sabotage connection. We talk through what overexpression looks like, why it shows up in relationships, and how healing begins when we feel safe to be seen and heard. https://www.instagram.com/djdennismh?igsh=azMyMnMwN3E5ZXc5&utm_source=qr https://www.youtube.com/@DJDennisMH
