Today I\\u2019m starting some segments that will feature what\\u2019s going on in the news about mental health. I\\u2019ll touch on my thoughts and responses - So you\\u2019ll get the gist. Less than five minutes and hopefully packed with information.

Today\\u2019s You Get the Gist is about the recent athletes who\\u2019ve come forward to talk openly about their mental health struggles. Men and women we look up to for their athletic prowess and resilience \\u2013 but they also have their own struggles.

Victoria Garrick did a TedX in California about college athletes and mental/emotional struggles

Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys\\xa0 recently revealed treatment for anxiety and depression

Michael Phelps produced \\xa0Weight of Gold about Olympians that describes the terrible depression, suicidal thoughts and actions and identity issues after their Olympic days are over.

Kudos to them. For sure.

My new book entitled Perfectly Hidden Depression\\xa0has arrived and you can order here! Its message is specifically for those with a struggle with strong perfectionism which acts to mask underlying emotional pain. But the many self-help techniques described can be used by everyone who chooses to begin to address emotions long hidden away that are clouding and sabotaging your current life.

And there\\u2019s a new way to send me a message! You can record by clicking below and ask your question or make a comment. You\\u2019ll have 90 seconds to do so and that time goes quickly. By recording, you\\u2019re giving SelfWork (and me) permission to use your voice on the podcast. I\\u2019ll look forward to hearing from you!
