Dr. Allen Rigell
This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Allen Rigell! Allen is a dad to one, a husband, an Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist and Palmer’s Psychiatrist. We had Allen on the pod to discuss mental health for dads and men and really had a great conversation!
Allen’s Today’s Dad definition was all about the different hurdles that come with all the different phases of fatherhood and how a Today’s Dad looks to the Tom Hanks that has been stranded on the island for years for advice about fatherhood instead of the Tom Hanks that just washed ashore. He also spoke about being in “autopilot” mode as a parent and partner and the balance of that.
We talk about a lot on the pod this week, but the biggest take away we hope you get is that it is good to ask for help or a place to talk when you need it. We use this pod as an outlet to share our experiences and know the benefit of talking about the ups and downs of life. A big thanks to Allen for joining us on the pod and sharing his experiences with us.
