| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to Finding Your Way Through Therapy. I am your host Steve Bisson. I'm an author and |
| 0:07.5 | mental health counselor. Are you curious about therapy? Do you feel there is a lot of mystery about |
| 0:13.3 | therapy? Do you wonder what your therapist is doing and why? The goal of this podcast is to |
| 0:18.7 | make therapy and psychology accessible to all by using real language and straight to the point |
| 0:23.5 | discussions. This podcast wants to remind you to take care of your mental health just like you |
| 0:28.5 | would your physical health. Therapy should not be intimidating. It should be a great way to |
| 0:33.3 | better health. I will demystify what happens in counseling, discuss topics related to mental health, |
| 0:39.1 | and discussions you can have with your therapist. I also want to introduce psychology in everyday life |
| 0:44.7 | as I feel most of our lives are meshed in psychology. I want to introduce to subtle and not so subtle |
| 0:50.8 | ways psychology plays a factor in our lives. It will be my own mix of thoughts as well as special |

| 1:36.4 | responders which most of you know that I work with a lot of first responders but also other people |
| 1:41.6 | who felt that it lifted the veil and was a very honest to goodness conversation which I give credit |
| 1:48.1 | to Jay. He's always been that way and yes I mentioned that he's my friend and I think that that |
| 1:52.7 | really helped so much so that I'm going to have him every season to have a quick conversation |
| 1:58.4 | or not so quick depending on how long they go in regards to mental health and first responders |
