Reba Buhr, actor, author and mental health advocate, has nearly 100 credits on IMDB. She’s probably voiced a character in one of your favorite animated shows or video games - including one of my daughters’ favorite joints, Miraculous.
But Reba’s dream is to take her show on the road and speak to students at universities about her mental health journey. She’s written a book titled “Get Thee to a Therapist”, in which she shares her struggles with anxiety and panic attacks that came on during college, while educating readers how to navigate the mental healthcare system. Her Instagram account that goes by the same name is packed with her unique brand of humor and invaluable insights.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussions on anxiety and panic attacks.
