Session 38: Calling Crissle

This week, Crissle is back taking your live calls! Today, she's helping listeners navigate friendships, family conflict, and the challenges of finding the right mental health support.

One caller is struggling after his best friend of 20 years tells him she doesn't agree with his lifestyle because he's gay. Another caller is trying to set healthy boundaries after her family accuses her boyfriend of cheating with one of her close friends.

Our final caller is a mother looking for advice on helping her 17-year-old daughter find a therapist who truly understands her. Throughout the episode, Crissle discusses what to do when core values no longer align with loved ones, why paying out of network for the right therapist may be worth it, and how parents can support teenagers throughout their mental health journey.
