Inner Space with Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen

Inner Space with Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen

Named to TIME Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2012, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen discusses mental health, emotional well-being and finding our healthy “inner space”. She talks with public figures in sports, entertainment, business, religion and politics to help us learn more about developing healthy habits, recognizing the signs of emotional pain in ourselves and our loved ones, and finding ways to care for those who are suffering. Dr. Van Dahlen also encourages people around the world to talk more openly about mental health – so that we can better support each other through the challenges we all face. Utilizing social media as a tool to share real life stories from across the globe, Inner Space will engage, inspire and connect us to each other as we work to change the culture of mental health and reminds us that our emotional well-being is just as important as our physical well-being.
