Warm Take Wednesdays with Dr Alex Iantaffi
Welcome to Warm Takes Wednesdays with Dr. Alex Iantaffi! This is an educational content creation project where I get to share what I think about a number of subjects, including but not limited to gender, relationships, disability, mental health, and oh so much more!
I've called it Warm Takes because what I try to do is sit with my own opinions for some time, to do research, to think about things, become more informed, and then offer as nuanced a take as I can on the issues at hand. I know not everyone will find my takes nuanced, especially if our belief systems differ, but I do hope that every viewer and listener can take something away from this series!
Dr. Alex Iantaffi Ph.D., MS, SEP, CST, CST-S, LMFT (they/he/lui) is an award-winning author, speaker, therapist, scholar, & educator.
