I love this podcast and wish that in my 17 years as a psychiatric clinician that I had found this years ago. Finally a breath of fresh air in the reductionist, pharmaceutical-solution-focused, insurance-controlled environment we all practice in these days. I love Dr. Emmons’ books as well. Both Dr. Kranz and Dr. Emmons communicate with us in such a down-to-earth way, making us feel welcomed and seen. Thank you for giving this to us!
