On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- You slept with a man twice your age when you were in your early 20s, only to discover years later that he was a pedophile. How do you cope with the guilt and shame of this unsettling experience?
- You've been premed since undergrad but keep struggling with the MCAT, jeopardizing your chances of getting into medical school. Is it time to consider a career change or should you give it one last shot?
- Your mother-in-law has kept a psychotic cat locked in her bathroom for two years after it violently attacked her. Do you report this animal cruelty or try to convince them to deal with it first?
- Your best friend from the military is struggling with alcoholism and homelessness, but refuses help. How far can you go to support him without enabling his behavior or compromising your own well-being?
- You and your friends feel like life has lost its meaning and vibrancy since the pandemic, despite being relatively happy and successful. Is this a widespread phenomenon, and how can you rediscover that sense of "aliveness?"
