EmotionAL Support with Alessandra Torresani

Childhood friends, Sage and Kendall, joined forces to create Frame, the amazing mental health platform that helps you along your therapy journey, every step of the way. I ask them every detail and question about how they help others with "matchmaking therapy". What to expect? Is there a right or wrong way to talk with a therapist? Is there someone you should say or not say to your therapist? All these questions and more are answered along with Sage and Kendall sharing their own personal experiences with therapy. As a platform that connects people to therapy and brings awareness to mental health, Frame is on a mission to normalize the hard days and celebrate the good ones. Frame represents a community where people can learn, grown and find support through it all. From finding the right therapist to making progress in a session, Frame is here to help you through your therapy journey. https://www.tryframe.com/ @frame.therapy https://www.instagram.com/frame.therapy/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Zak finds it in his heart to share his incredibly open and brave mental health story this week. He shows me how we all have the opportunity to embrace what makes us uniquely ourselves. Grieving in the public eye about his father, Robin William's passing, self medicating and the origin story of my new favorite mood chews, PYM, are just a few of the topics we chat about…and don’t worry, we left room for warm laughs! @zakwilliams @youcanpym   Learn more about your ad choices.

Addiction. The topic we have been ready to talk about since the beginning of Beauty and The Brain. Being David Haggerty’s speciality, we thought we would talk about treatments, medicines, both holistic and traditional, and even talk about the Ketamin trends. This is a conversation we would love to hear from you so please leave a review and start the discussion on the EmotionAL Support Facebook page.  @emotionalsupportpod @alessandratorresani @dlhagger https://www.emotionalsupportpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.
