Intro

Whether you acknowledge it or not, you are carrying mental health inheritance and debt from previous generations—habits, preferences, coping skills (or lack thereof). I have wise and insightful patients who say "My parents did that because of their upbringing. But I want to deal with mine so I don't pass it to my kids." Wow. 

Dealing with your mental health debt takes sacrifice, effort, and uncomfortable periods... just like paying off financial debt does. But, boy, isn't freedom worth it? I hope this episode brings insights, perspective, and courage to deal with our mental health debt.
