Welcome back to the Duck Call Room, ladies and gentlemen. We are here this fine evening with Dr. Lee Long, who... Let's be honest. We found in our inbox, man, we just met him and we just, so what's crazy about this, Dr. Lee. So that you have a little background on us. We're a bunch of rednecks that don't know anything. Um, to be fair, we, we make our living, uh, telling long yarns, uh, exaggerated tales for the most part, but we took a exaggerated. Yeah. They're all exaggerated. We're fishermen and hunters that happens. Which is, this may be a way bigger deal for you as far as, man, these people are crazy. Because you're from the big city of Fort Worth. This obviously is not Fort Worth. Not Fort Worth.
Unknown 0:56
No, we are not in Fort Worth anymore.

How does Dr. Lee Long define self-worth and its importance?

Unknown 0:58
But we had a... What is she? What is Emily?
Justin Martin 1:03
There's a ton of letters after her name, but licensed adult and family therapist.
Unknown 1:07
There we go. We had Emily on, who was that, a couple of weeks ago, and it went really well with our audience. So now we're kind of just trudging down this road.
Justin Martin 1:17
Well, it's Mental Health Awareness Month.
Unknown 1:19
It is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we...
Si Robertson 1:24
What are you a doctor of?
Dr. Lee Long 1:28
Education. Huh? Education. I have an EDD. It's a doctorate of education.

Why is Mental Health Awareness Month significant for this conversation?

Dr. Lee Long 1:33
But in that, it's therapy and traumatology. And I work with all kinds of people, individuals, marriage and family, teenagers. And so I've been a therapist for almost 30 years and seen, I've worked in juvenile detention centers. I've worked in alternative schools where the young people are, I like to say, invited to leave. They're really kicked out. Um, but, uh, then I've worked in hospitals I've worked in, and now I have a private practice in the Dallas Fort worth area. We have offices, uh, in Dallas and Fort worth and some other places, but we work with a lot of different age groups.
Si Robertson 2:18
Well, again, this got me going. The first question was, okay. And then I said, okay, we are our own problem. With your learned man, educated man, how are we going to fix this? Oh, I love that question.
Dr. Lee Long 2:37
I think that it starts with your values first. And a faithful man would say his values are based on God in that relationship. If you're not a faithful person, then it's your values.

How can we learn to ask for help effectively?

Dr. Lee Long 2:49
The next is that you have to learn you, how you show up in the world. If something bothers you, why? Are we aware of it? Or do we try to change other people? See, I see all too often.
Si Robertson 3:03
Well, I think that's another one of our problems. Okay? Because especially in the field of marriage. Yes. You know? I fall in love with this young lady, okay? And then when we get married, then I try to change her. And that's so stupid because some of the things I'm trying to change is the reason I fell in love with her to begin with. Spot on. Because this is helping me because I've already learned two things today.

What role does self-awareness play in personal growth?

Unknown 3:32
Look at you. That's because you came in well-rested. You came in right out of a nap.
Si Robertson 3:36
Yeah, right out of a nap. That's another thing to help because people say work through the pain. I always disagreed with the coaches when they said that crap. When they said what? If you got pain, okay, it's saying stop. He's telling you something.
Unknown 3:53
Work harder.
Si Robertson 3:54
No, it's saying stop.
Unknown 3:57
Work harder. Nobody cares.
Si Robertson 3:58
That guy built a whole brand on that. Yeah, but that coach didn't care.

How does comparison affect our self-image?

Unknown 4:03
Yeah. Yeah. Interesting.
Si Robertson 4:05
Well, no, no, because I'm looking at where the world is right now. Mm-hmm. Okay? And it's kind of fitting, really, when you think about this podcast to be this day. We're fixing to celebrate 250 years of freedom. Mm-hmm. Okay? Yeah. And that... For a country uneducated redneck, you know, I have difficulties with what the human race is doing.
Dr. Lee Long 4:38
I agree. And I think that we've lost perspective of ourselves.

What strategies can we use to build healthier relationships?

Si Robertson 4:43
Well, from my childhood to now, we've changed so drastically.
Unknown 4:53
I think that's kind of what he's saying. That the change, the self-image has changed and the lack of awareness of self and the Right? I mean, I'm not trying to speak for you, but that's what I'm gathering. I'm gathering that from what you're saying.
Si Robertson 5:08
No, no, because what you're saying is important. It is. He said something, and this is what you got out of it, which is solid.
