30: Gross Foods and the DSM-V-TR

Licensed professional counselors Johanna Dwinells and Sarah Bryski-Hamrick are slowly demystifying and destigmatizing therapy, one episode at a time. Recording and living in the Philadelphia area, Johanna and Sarah work to make therapy feel more accessible, with quirky, sometimes intrusive questions that reveal the human side of healthcare professionals, all while they overcome their own anxieties and internalized stigmas. 

TW: Mention of Suicide and Self Harm, Gross Foods

Episode summary: Johanna gives her opinion on musical theater. Sarah waits to see if she will get sick. They both discuss disgusting food they have eaten and the history of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). No guest this week! Johanna and Sarah talk about the changes to the new DSM-V-TR.
