About this episode

Hello, all! This is a really interesting episode, in my opinion. That's due to your awesome questions! Here's what I cover:

  • When I get angry, I headbutt things, which has given me black eyes. How can I get help?
  • What is trichotillomania and how can you work on it?

As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode322
