My First Television Interview

My First Television Interview about Healing, Fatherhood, and the Power of Reflection

Healing begins with honesty. For individuals in Maryland and DC, this conversation on The Health Revolution explores how decades of psychological work, personal growth, and compassionate insight can shape families and futures.

Good to see you,

I recorded my very first television interview for The Health Revolution with Adriana Morrison.

It was an exciting and meaningful experience to discuss the work that has shaped my life. We explored how my path led me to psychology, what decades of helping people heal have taught me, and why reflection and compassion are essential for emotional growth. I also shared insights from my new book, How Not to F$%! Up Being a Father, which helps fathers raise sons who are emotionally aware, confident, and connected.

This conversation reminded me how powerful it is to speak honestly about healing, relationships, and the ways we learn and grow. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has encouraged and supported me along the way.

📺 The episode will air on e360tv on December 1 at 1 PM EST.

Thank you for celebrating this first with me. Your support means more than words can say.

Rooting for your growth,

Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst
Psychologist, Author, and Speaker
