In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lee Long, therapist and educator with nearly 30 years of experience, to talk about mental health in a way that actually makes sense.
Dr. Long shares the moment that changed the course of his life, what it truly means to hold space for others, and how to recognize the difference between everyday stress, anxiety, sadness, and depression—especially for teens and young adults.
We also break down therapy terms like DBT, EMDR, and CBASP in plain language, explore the impact of technology and social media on mental health, and share practical tools for grounding, mindfulness, and healthier connection.
This episode is for anyone who wants to understand themselves (and others) better—and learn why needing support doesn’t mean you’re broken.
