Robert Duff, Ph.D.
About this episode

Okay, my friends! I think this was a great episode. I got to cover some really interesting questions that I am sure apply to many of you out there. Don't forget to check out my TEDx talk at http://duffthepsych.com/tedx. Here are the questions that are covered in this episode:

  • How can I get over feeling like I don't deserve to feel better?
  • How do you know if you actually need psychological help or if you are just blowing things out of proportion?
  • What can you do to overcome panic attacks on stage?

As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com
