The Psych Spot Podcast Episode 1: Counseling in Puyallup

We've launched a podcast! This is something I have been talking about doing for a few years now, so I'm totally stoked to share this with you! In this first episode Courtney (my wife) and I talk about a recent blog post that I wrote on relationship conflict. Please share it, subscribe on iTunes, and like our Facebook page.

I met with a man once who had just been separated from his wife. They had been married 10 years and had four beautiful children. He was devastated! This was a burley dude – beard and all, crying like my two-year-old at bedtime. He loved her, and he longed to be back with her! But he stated that it was not going to work. He had been emotionally abusive, and now, even though he may have said the word divorce first, she was the one filing papers. There was no solution in sight.

I’ve been doing a lot of work with men recently, helping them be the men that they really hope to be. Sounds easy. It should be, right? Find a killer career, get married, and raise a family. What else is there, right? Well, it is pretty hard, because I think it takes a lot more to be a successful man today than at any time before.

I’ve had a few questions from folks recently about anxiety. “Hey Jay, I’ve got anxiety about [this]. What should I do?”

It’s really pretty normal for people to struggle with anxiety, but most people are so embarrassed and ashamed, that they mostly suffer in secret.

The National Institute of Mental Health has found that anxiety disorders are the number one mental health concern for women and second among men, only topped by alcohol and drug abuse. This works out to be roughly 17 percent of Americans or fifty million people. That’s a big chunk of America!
