Dear Dr. Toni,
I’m a thirty-nine-year-old woman who can’t seem to stop herself from giving advice. Is that an addiction? I’ve been told by my therapist that it is, and I saw your column in this magazine in her waiting room and I thought I’d get a free second opinion. I happen to be a psych intern and I’ve studied functional medicine for about five years, so I know about the mind-body connection. When people complain about their problems, whether they’re physical or mental problems, it seems to me that it’s my duty to share the resources I have. What do you think, Dr. Toni?
