Finding Support and Healing in Difficult Times

“The hardest thing about being a therapist is how lonely it can get.”

Life can be a challenging space to navigate. With all of the ups and downs, twists, and turns, sometimes it’s hard to figure out whether you’re coming or going. Here’s the thing to remember when you find yourself trying to find your way through one of those situations; you’re not alone. “People see ‘Doctor’ in front of your name and forget that you guys have feelings too.” – (Danny), 3:14

My guest today is a man who felt so knew so many were suffering, feeling alone and as if they had no way to cope … so through the power of social media, he gave them one. On this episode, I sit down and talk with renowned psychologist and content creator, the one and only Dr. Ali Mattu. Dr. Mattu specializes in mental health disorders and his online presence has become a beacon of light for many sufferers around the world who simply can’t afford to get the help they need. He’s an amazing man with a heart for people that comes through from the moment you first hear his voice. Our conversation runs the gamut and touches on suicide, a topic so many of us fear, but so many of us need to discuss. “The hardest thing about being a therapist is how lonely it can get.” – (Dr. Mattu), 16:57

If you’ve been looking for a way to cope and get answers to some of the pressing questions that have for far too long kept you awake at night, this episode will speak directly to you. This is an episode that was designed with you in mind and one you won’t want to miss. “One person cannot and should not be your sole source of support for everything.” (Dr. Mattu), 37:02 “People who are suicidal aren’t just suicidal once.” – (Dr. Mattu), 50:45 “You never know in a conversation when you stumble upon someone’s trauma.” – (Dr. Mattu), 1:05:22
