A Guest on the Wine and Psych Podcast with Dr. Krysti Vo

I was happy to be a guest on the WAP Podcast: Wine and Psych with Dr. Krysti Vo, a mentally fit millennial, mental health advocate, and psychiatrist navigating life, love, and all things #MentalFitness episode by episode. I opened the podcast with a meditation and described my journey into recovery, mindfulness, and what led me into my current profession. I offered guidance for people struggling with addiction and provided thoughts on the concept of the “addictive personality” from the clinical and Buddhist psychology perspectives. I explained Clinical Dharma and why I created it and how I incorporate Dharma into my clinical work. I discussed how EMDR therapy is a very inclusive therapy, the MET(T)A Protocol, and the power of seeing addiction through a trauma-focused lens.
