Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general,

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations.

So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely but feel free to feel it

out check out the episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay

but you know feel free to give it a shot first I also need to say that while I am a

psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist.

This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help.

So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. Hello friends of all varieties this is the Hardcore Self-Help

podcast episode 105 I'm your host Dr Robert Duff a psychologist from

Southern California and the author of the Hardcore Self-Help book

series and today it's kind of a blend of an episode so it started off with the

question that I got and then I decided as I was starting to answer it that I should just do a whole

deep dive episode on the topic so today I'm going to be talking about a few

different types of therapy, so a few different types of psychotherapy and just

explaining you know some of the most common types what they're like and how

they're different and everything like that.

So I'm going to go into, I think five,

I have some notes here, I think it was about five,

different types of psychotherapy

and then talk a little bit about therapy in general.
