| 0:13.0 | At self-work we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world |
| 0:19.0 | and what to do about them. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm Dr. Margaret and self-work as a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own self-work |
| 0:29.8 | Hello and thanks for tuning in to self-work. I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. I'm a clinical psychologist. |
| 0:36.3 | I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas and I've been doing therapy for 25 years, which I can't really believe. |
| 0:45.9 | I started podcasting last year because I wanted to extend the walls of my practice and reach out to people who perhaps have |

| 1:45.1 | talk about a lot. And then there's this one. I love all of Dr Margaret's |
| 1:49.1 | podcast and refer back to them in session with my own clients. That thrilled me, absolutely thrilled me. |
| 1:58.3 | So I appreciate that. I have long thought that I'm really a conduit for the wisdom of the patients I've already seen and we'll see I guess. |
| 2:09.0 | What I mean by that is I'm simply passing on the very hard work and again wisdom of the people that I've worked with in the past and giving that wisdom to you. |
