SHRINKED Podcast

SHRINKED Podcast

Seeing a therapist used to come with a stigma. Well we're changing that, by spreading the word about the new normal. Shrinked is a mental health awareness podcast where we reach out the global community and give people a platform to anonymously share what they're currently battling. Listeners have the opportunity to tune in and connect with others' difficulties, while also hear advice from professionals in the world of psychology who offer practical tips and perspectives, whether light-hearted or serious. Join journalist/radio host/podcaster Jamaal Aziz on his global journey from the US, China, Denmark, and various other countries as he and mental health professionals discuss some of the challenges we face.
