After some watermelon and fire flies we were off to our B&B to snuggle down for the night.

But when we arrived, the old Victorian mansion loomed unwelcomely. The house was completely dark inside and out.

Ours was the only car pulled in the driveway and there was nothing around but spiderwebs and the chirping of crickets.

After using the code to sneak through the back door I was completely unsettled.

Where was everyone?

Or anyone at all??

My husband and I had booked a B&B in the middle of nowhere Mississippi to visit my sister and now we were going to get murdered or pulled into a wild Scooby Doo style crime scene.

We snuck down hallways and shined our iPhones around corners. We tip-toed up the winding staircase and were greeted by a pile of (probably normal but creepy at the time) dolls perched on a Victorian chaise.

No, thank you.

I caught a glimpse of my tired, pallid reflection in a giant tarnished mirror and my heart jumped into my throat.

This just didn’t feel right.

After wandering through the whole place at least twice we were sure that:

So we finally flipped the switches and shed some light on our situation. We made a quick plan to pick the best room and then crashed hard (dolls and all!).

The next morning, with sunlight streaming through the kitchen windows, we were greeted by a chipper hostess with a

“Good morning y’all! Looks like you got in and got to bed alright. I had a few too many margaritas myself!”

Something that seemed so ominous suddenly didn’t feel so bad, once it was light and I could see where I was going (and side step the doll chaise).

Know what what else feels like this?

Being asked questions about medications that leave you feeling like you found a pile of creepy dolls in the dark.

You may not feel that strongly about the mental health meds your clients take, but we can all get a little more comfortable toeing the line between med-unsure and med-awesome.

I can’t prescribe anything like a light switch (or even a weak-ass flashlight!) to help this instantly, but I have an online course that you can watch at any moment when you feel the dark closing in.

It's on everything serotonin related!

And it comes with a guide that I’m going to treat you to for FREE. (just make a copy!) Because this information is super helpful and I want you to have it even if you don’t take the course!

Let me say it again, FREE SSRI and serotonin guide!​

But I gotta say the course is pretty awesome! You’ve seen some hints of it in some of the SSRI and serotonin videos I’ve shared on YouTube in the past, so you can guess what to expect (only better)!

And it’s approved for 1 CE by ASWB! Here’s the link to check out the course.​

I know it’s crazy to think that one class of medications is supposed to fix a giant chunk of mental health diagnoses but the course helps explain why!

Grab some stats, specific medication information, all the bajillion things that serotonin does in the body and brain, and all the scary stuff that can happen when it gets out of whack.

With your therapy superpowers and my prescribing prowess we'll turn the lights on in those creepy, dark, uncomfortable medication places.

​Here’s your serotonin treat!​

And this was totally not intended to be Halloween-y but I kind of feel like it is! All that "Summerween" marketing has already gotten into my brain!! Now THAT’S scary!

Cheers to healthy brains,

Dr. B
