Today on the show, Erica sits down with Joanna Cheek, a Canadian psychiatrist, journalist, speaker, researcher, meditation teacher, and  psychotherapist trained in numerous styles of therapy. She is an award-winning teacher and associate professor at the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine. Joanna sees mental health struggles as symptoms of a world on fire, hoping to decrease the stigma that is too often misplaced on the individuals who suffer, rather than the ailing society around them.

The two discuss her new book:  It's Not You, It's the World: A Mental Health Survival Guide for Us All. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
