Episode 120 - Kate Wallinga.

Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, Kate Wallinga.

Kate's bio:I spent my entire professional life in the fields of mental health and criminal justice. My favorite, hardest and most important work was specifically in the fields of correctional psych, forensic psych, and crisis assessment. My podcast, “Ignorance Was Bliss,” started off very specifically looking at crime, the criminal justice system, and clinical psychology.

Over time, the focus of my show has widened to include the normal, the average, the ordinary, that all of us can understand… but we continue to think of ourselves as somehow screwed up, weird, wrong. We’re not. You’re not. Honest.

Just make sure you really want to know. Because the most important certainty I carry, from all my time working with inmates and patients and onlookers, is that the only real difference between “us” and “them” is a key. And that everything we experience, from crippling anxiety to serial murder, is maybe not rational, but there is a logic to it. I can make things understandable.

And once you learn just how easy it can be to fall into the darker parts of life, you might think,”…I felt better before I knew that.”
