This May Be Oversharing Podcast: Episode 8—Back from Hiatus

(Trigger warning: this episode discusses suicidal ideation/attempts.)

Well, I guess that trigger warning is also kind of a spoiler, huh? I’m back from six weeks in residential treatment, and I want to explain a little bit more about what that’s like for anyone who might be considering it for themselves or a loved one. I talk about why I went, what the process was like, and what I learned. (Spoiler: a whole lot!)

Things I Mention:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy

I’m working on some more solo eps AND more guests, so tell me more about what you want to hear!

  • This was an amazing episode. I recognize myself in so much of what you said - humor as deflection, being hard on myself, distracting myself with insane amounts of work. Thank you for sharing. If your goal was for this to resonate with at least 1 person, count me in.
