Lesson 4: If you are adjusted to a sick society, you are sick. Normal is messed up‪.‬ Life School

Life School is back! 🚌📚I interviewed a dear friend of mine, Carly Novoselsky. Carly is also known as @queersobersocial and @queersobertherapy is a queer, sober LCPC & CADC therapist who provides mental health care, is a community leader and a millennial badass. We are both healthcare workers seeking to improve the health care system. We discuss how we can serve our patients and be trusted to do our best as health care providers in a for profit healthcare industry. We talk about A LOT: How we are trying to be lights of hope for our mental health, queer, trans, alcoholic/addiction patients, Carly’s alcoholism and found sobriety, the ‘gratitude wake up call’ after you realize life is ticking away-so you might as well live well, how to replace self destruction with authentic living, health care industry problems, the fentanyl/heroin overdose of a high school friend of mine, warning signs to look out for if your friends are struggling, boutique wellness, finding a good therapist (what is a good therapist!?), important/hard/confrontational conversations that can save lives, misuse of social media as diagnostics data to prove mental illness, over pathologically interpreting human tendencies, “crabs in a bucket”, normal being not the best thing to strive for, perfectionism being unreal, suicide, picking your version of hard, how to let go and more! 💗
