This week on THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL HIM & HER PODCAST…
( 0:55 ): Welcome back to TSC HIM & HER Show. #615: Today, we’re joined by Catherine Gildiner, a best-selling memoirist, novelist, and psychologist in private practice for 25 years. In her book, ‘Good Morning, Monster,’ she focuses on five patients who overcame enormous trauma – people she considers heroes. Gildiner recounts the details of their struggles, their paths to recovery, and her own tale of growth as a therapist. Today, we’re sitting down with Cathy to discuss all things therapy and her experiences as a psychologist who’s taken on numerous traumatic cases and healed countless patients of their mental health issues. She also dives into how to achieve confidence, developing emotional competence, and getting to the root cause of insecurity.
