Summary

We hear about the benefits of therapy SO often, but how does one even go about finding a therapist? There’s no how-to guide…until now! Ali chats with Nancy Walters, LICSW all about how she, as a therapist, recommends selecting one for yourself. She lovingly refers to her approach to therapy as Hot Mess Therapy: real, raw, intuitive, and deeply human. And is encouraging our listeners to find a real & raw therapist relationship for themselves, with actionable tips plus a step-by-step guide creating just for FMH. You can find that at https://tinyurl.com/fmh-therapist-guide.

The relationship is literally the most important piece in therapy.

0:04.4

Your therapist could have all the awards, all the trainings, you know, charge a ton.

0:10.9

They're always full.

0:12.0

But if the relationship isn't there, you're not going to get anything from it. Hello and welcome to another episode of finding Mr. Hyde the podcast. I'm your host,

0:32.1

Ali Jackson, and I am bringing you my positive and practical dating and relationship

0:35.6

advice and advice on other stuff that I've gleaned

0:38.3

through my lived experiences. Today, I'm here implementing some of the feedback that I've already

0:42.9

gotten from the survey, which is that y'all would like a mix of dating diaries episodes that are

0:47.4

dedicated episodes and that have shorter update segments within them. So today, we are going to hear

0:52.1

from Kaylee. And spoiler alert, it will be for the last

0:55.3

time. We'll get into that with Kaylee. But I heard you've got unclear in the survey that you like

0:59.8

a mix of both. So we will be doing both. We're going to have dedicated dating diaries episodes in the

1:03.9

future as well. But the next two weeks, we will have update sections that are not about me.

1:09.0

They are about Kaylee. And next week, we will hear from Elise. Also, a vast majority of you in the survey said that you would like to hear from our dating diaries participants for between three and six months. So we're at about five months right now. So based on what Kaylee's got going on in our life, which you'll hear all about in this segment, feeling like it was a good opportunity for her to transition. But we will continue to hear from Elise. And I am looking for another dating diary's participant to take that second spot. So if you're interested, I've gotten some amazing applications in the last couple of weeks, but you can do that at Finding Mr.hite.com slash podcast. Click submit to the pod. It's the survey that I or the submission form that I have for the pod, but one of

1:44.9

the options is dating diary's application. You can also send me a DM on Instagram, especially if you

1:51.1

are not a straight woman. I love y'all, my straight women, but I would love some diversity in

1:55.2

applications. I don't have any yet. So if you are somebody else in some other group, I would love, love, love to hear from you. But everybody is welcome. So please apply regardless if you are interested in the segment. And I am looking forward to getting to know somebody new. Also speaking of the survey, I did in fact reach that statistical significance number. I'm so excited. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. To everyone. It is closed at this point. So you won't see it in the show notes anymore. But I am starting to reach out to people for the focus group. So thank you to everybody who expressed interest there. And I'm just really pumped to start doing those. So because we have our updates from Kaylee this week, I will keep my piece short and sweet. I had a really wonderful week. A lovely, lovely, lovely girls trip out to the North Fork on Long Island. You can see our whole it on Instagram. I posted it if you are

2:17.6

interested in doing a little bit. wonderful week, a lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely girls trip out to the North Fork on Long Island.

2:38.3

You can see our whole it on Instagram. I posted it. If you were interested in doing a little trip out there, it was amazing. And really, my non-work life is pretty consumed with prepping

2:44.2

my apartment for Skyline to move in. We are at T-minus three weeks as of recording. And I'm so

2:49.2

excited and nervous. And there's a lot to do. So logistically.

2:54.3

So I'm working on all that. That's really what I've got going on. But this week's update session
