“Don’t Mind Me: Psychiatry understands and emphasizes the need to pay yourself mind. But paying yourself the mind and time you deserve can be hard. Fear, shame, embarrassment, hopelessness and stigma are all significant barriers that prevent many of us from seeking the care that can help us live more enjoyably. Going in-person and opening up to strangers about hard emotions can often heighten the vulnerability that is innately human. Telehealth provides an opportunity to receive mental health care in a setting where the client feels most comfortable to talk about their concerns. At different points in all our lives, we are forced to carry the burden of heavy feelings that can feel impossible to hold. Don’t carry them alone.”

Sincerely,

Dr. Buchanan
