Receiving a mental health diagnosis can activate a wide array of emotions. 

In this episode, we're exploring how a diagnosis can be an empowering experience - even as you experience all the other emotions that might be coming along with it, too. 

Bryan is joined, once again, by Dr. Anastasia Ristau. They discuss how a diagnosis can validate what you're experiencing - and give you a path forward to show up for your life in a more expansive way. They also offer a special message to parents who might be maneuvering a mental health diagnosis for their children.

Dr. Ristau is a licensed psychologist and the Director of Psychotherapeutics at PrairieCare

As always - take what serves you, and leave the rest.
