Healing from Trauma and Burnout: Insights from Therapist Katie Vernoy
“I think the best thing that I can offer is that not every coping strategy is going to work for every person and not every coping strategy is going to work the same for every situation, and so it's figuring out when you're feeling down?”

In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with therapist Katie Vernoy to tackle some of the toughest questions around this issue.
