Hi everyone. My name's Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Well, tonight I have another spooky October episode for you.

But before we get to the story, I just want to say that this episode is very proudly sponsored by BetterHelp.

Affordable, private online counseling you can get anywhere anytime.

BetterHelp offers broad expertise and counselors you can talk to that specialize in very

specific areas. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, stress, depression, relationships,

trauma, or sleeping, BetterHelp has licensed professionals for you to connect with.

And anything you share is confidential. You can use different ways to communicate with your

counselor based on your needs, availability, and convenience. Text, chat, video, you'll get quick

and thoughtful responses. And also, financial aid is available for those to qualify.

So many people have been using BetterHelp lately that they are recruiting additional counselors in

all 50 states. And I personally am so thankful for BetterHelp support of this show and so many other

podcasts right now because they've introduced many people to therapy for the first time and have made

countless people happy by doing so. And I know I mentioned the last episode that I recently celebrated

one year sober. And it's the greatest thing I've ever done for myself and going to therapy was

one of the most important tools that I used in doing that. So I can't say enough good things about

therapy and how much it really can change your life. So start living a happier life today.
