Be VicTORIEus Ep. 113

Got a question? Send us a text! This episode includes discussion of addiction, family abuse and gang violence. Dr. Torie went to a performing arts high school. Almost nobody knows she can sing. Four minutes into this episode, Maximus Leroy stops the interview and asks her whose voice told her not to. That's the whole episode, really. Maximus is a certified psychotherapist and EQ practitioner who wrote a book called "Mental Health Is a Lie" — not because mental health isn't real, but because he thinks we're arguing about 30% of the problem and ignoring the other 70%. What follows is less an interview than a session. Two practitioners in the same field, taking turns putting each other on the couch.
