    Matt Glowiak: Self-Awareness as the Key to Wisdom
    Feb 6 2025
    Dr. Matt Glowiak is clinical faculty in the Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and Yorkville University (YU) Master’s in Mental Health Counseling (MHC) programs. As an individual who is passionate about everything mental health, he has a diverse background in higher education, private practice, addiction, servant leadership, presenting, publishing, and advocacy work. Dr. Glowiak has worked with many clients diagnosed with a variety of conditions as well as those aiming to increase their overall wellbeing.In this episode Dante and Matt discuss:Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health issues like depression and anxietyRole of self-awareness, supportive communication, and individualized treatment approachesTreatability and curability of mental health disorders and short-term use of medicationPersistent stigma and lack of resources in mental health servicesEthical concerns about providers profiting from prolonged patient dependencyKey Takeaways: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted both the rise in mental health struggles and the simultaneous destigmatization of mental health, leading to greater awareness and increased access to services.Self-awareness, supportive communication, and tailored treatment approaches are essential for overcoming mental health challenges, fostering resilience and recovery.Mental health disorders are highly treatable with proper intervention, and seeking help not only improves individual well-being but strengthens community connections.Medication should play a minimal, short-term role in mental health care, with ongoing therapy as the cornerstone of sustainable recovery and personal growth.Despite free alternatives, the high cost of mental health services, persistent stigma, and unethical practices by some providers remain barriers to achieving accessible and effective care for all.“Be real with yourself. There's a saying, 'The more aware you are of yourself, the more aware you become of others.' Wisdom flourishes from self-awareness. While we all perceive and respond to the world differently, certain universals connect us—pain, desires, and shared experiences. If something doesn’t feel right, acknowledge it sooner rather than later.” - Matt GlowiakConnect with Matt Glowiak:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.mattglowiak/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-glowiak-phd-lcpc-caadc-ncc-acs-1162841ab/ Email: dr.mglowiak@gmail.com Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
