Just Chill with Oliver George #53 - Mitchell Smolkin

Join Oliver as he chills with the extremely interesting and multitalented Mitchell Smolkin! In addition to being a well respected psychotherapist with a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology, Mitchell is also an accomplished speaker, author, actor and musician! He has built a successful international psychotherapy practice with offices in both Toronto and Sweden, and has also recently launched a fantastic podcast titled 'The Dignity of Suffering'.

Appearing from his office in Stockholm, the conversation kicks off with Mitchell explaining what it has been like living there during the pandemic. Watching the majority of the planet go into lockdown, while the Swedish government decided to take a very different approach to dealing with the situation. This leads to discussion about the effect that Covid has had on human relationships at large. Oliver shares a story about recently confronting a very uncomfortable situation and Mitchell explains what first drove him to want to help people. The chat then delves into Mitchell's many artistic exploits and he shares insight into why he decided to start his new podcast. Things finish off with some talk about craft beer, followed by an absolutely moving and beautiful story from Mitchell's past.
