Self Talk #123: INTERVIEW: Kent Weishaus, Socially Conscious LCSW
Kent Weishaus had a 25-year career in television production, working on talk shows, game shows, tabloids, sitcoms, and other programming, before making a switch in 2006, going back to graduate school and becoming a licensed clinical social worker. Since then he has worked in mental hospitals, community clinics, schools, and is now semi-retired, continuing a part-time private practice. He is the author of Stop Breaking Down: How to avoid Overwhelm and Crack-Up.
You'll appreciate this interview if you've been on the fence about seeing a therapist or counselor. Kent and I talk about trauma and its potential expressions and origins—both personally and culturally. We also address how we can be socially conscious in a troubled world while preserving our sacred Self.
