339: Debra Fileta, M.A., L.P.C. on Why We Are Not Self-Healers, Our Trigger-Avoidant Culture, Rejecting Passivity, and What it Takes to Reset Your Emotional Health

Podcast · April 19, 2023

This week, my good friend, a professional counselor, Debra Fileta, joins us to talk about why we are not self-healers. We’re also going to explore our trigger-avoidant culture, the need to reject passivity, and what it really takes to reset our emotional health. Debra is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in dating, marriage, and relationship issues, along with a spectrum of mental health disorders. She’s also the author of several books and the host of the Love + Relationships Podcast, a hotline-style show where people call in to get their relationship questions answered! Her popular relationship advice blog TrueLoveDates.com reaches millions of people each year with the message of healthy relationships!
