Dr. Josh Lichtman: The Question Mark Text

January 01, 2017

Psychiatrist Dr. Josh Lichtman is a familiar voice to regular listeners, as he consistently lends his expertise to the Friday "5 Minutes on Your Issues" episodes. In case he's new to you, know this: Dr. Lichtman is a Clinical Instructor at the UCLA School of Medicine and Clinical Supervisor at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. In addition, he was named to Los Angeles Magazine’s “Super Doctor” list for 2016 and 2015 and he was a “Super Doctor Rising Star” for the years of 2013 and 2014. And so the time had clearly come to turn some tables on this super doctor. In this episode, the board certified psychiatrist who combines the best practices from Western medicine and the 2600-year-old wisdom practices of Buddhism had to address his own issue: why he's triggered by people who send a text that consists only of a question mark. To find out how a highly educated mental health specialist analyzes how a question mark text makes him question his own intelligence, you best listen to this one.
