This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. This holiday season do something for a special person in your life.

You, give yourself a gift to raise your spirits and not just for the day.

BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist 100% online via video, phone, and live chat sessions.

And the holiday season is the perfect time to try it and see if therapy is for you.

After all, the holidays are a notoriously tough time between managing family dynamics,

racing from thing to thing, and braving the cold and dark weather, it's normal to feel down.

Having someone to talk to about how you're feeling and what you can do about it is truly a gift.

When you're armed with more information about what you're experiencing,

struggles can feel a little easier to manage. BetterHelp is much more affordable than in-person

therapy, and you can do it from the comfort of your home on a schedule that works for you.

So this holiday season give yourself a gift of better mental health, a gift that really does

keep on giving. Visit betterhelp.com to see if therapy is for you. That's better HELP.com.
