152. Doug #2: The Dose Makes the Poison
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 22.5pt;"><span style= "color: black;">Doug and Kenzie continue to process thoughts and feelings after the LA fires that destroyed Doug’s house and devastated his neighborhood of Altadena. After a recent visit to the old neighborhood, a lot of emotion came up about the landscape, nature, and support in the community. Kenzie notes it's the dose that makes the poison because anything in the right or wrong amount can be really good or harmful for you. Applying this to therapy: the emotion is always inside, it’s the trigger that sets it off. Our hosts get existential and psychological – I mean, this is a therapy podcast, right?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.clearmindfullheart.com/"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt;">Doug’s Group Therapy Practice</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.yourmentalbreakdown.com/"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt;">YMB Webpage</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">Join Us on Social Media: </span></strong></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">YMB </span><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/631378014322226/?ref=share"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Facebook Group</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">YMB on </span><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/your.mental.breakdown"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt;">Instagram</span></a></p> <p><span style="color: black;">YMB on </span><a href= "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRWoeYFW/%20https:/vm.tiktok.com/ZMRWoeYFW/">TikTok</a></p>
