Real Talk
In this Real Talk segment, I respond to a question about what is “normal” when it comes to experiencing feelings of anxiety, sadness, and worry and how to know when it’s time to seek clinical help. I also explain, why I really don’t like the word “normal” and what word I prefer to use instead.
