In this Episode 40 - recorded on September 8, 2023, Marjie (our new co-host), Barry and Kevin sit down with:

Doctor of Psychology Pascale Piron
https://emergepg.com/pascale-piron,

for a look behind the mental-health curtain.

Psychologist, therapist, counselor -- what's difference (other than cost?) Can all of them do counseling? testing? evaluations? Why therapy for kids is good, and how some parents try to sabotage it. Why adults in litigation or family-law conflicts can greatly benefit from therapy. And what about parents' fears that seeing a therapist might give the other side reasons to claim they're crazy?

In this, Marjie's first episode as co-host, she, Barry and Kevin throw some spaghetti at the wall (figuratively,) telling Dr. Piron some of their best techniques for dealing with sticky, real-world situations, only to be humbled by Dr. Piron, who is ridiculously more qualified to speak about mental-health issues! And mental health is a big factor in family-law court cases, with some parents determined to 'win' at all costs -- even throwing their children into the fight.
