Robert Duff, Ph.D.
About this episode

Hello, friends! I hope you have had a wonderful week. For today's episode, I answer the following awesome listener questions:

  • I am thinking of going into clinical psychology, but as a sensitive person, I am afraid of emotionally burning out. What can I do to avoid this?
  • I have lost someone every year since 2015. How can I get back to a normal life with so much loss?

As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode298
