| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. A lot of people struggle on our world and that's why I really love what I do. |
| 0:16.0 | As a clinical psychologist, I help people overcome struggles. |
| 0:20.0 | Or at least I try to. Now I've been helping people for over 30 years. That's a long time. |
| 0:25.6 | That's a lot of people that I've spent time with. And if all the things that people struggle with and |
| 0:31.2 | all the different stories that I've heard and I've heard |
| 0:34.1 | a lot of them as I'm sure you have too because I think we all know people that are struggling |

| 1:16.0 | but for whatever reason, the other person says, I'm done, |
| 1:19.0 | I don't want to be in this relationship anymore. |
| 1:22.0 | And they really were hopeful that this relationship |
| 1:24.2 | would last perhaps for the rest of their lives. Now let's say they reach out to their |
| 1:28.7 | family, they call up their friends and everyone is very loving and supportive. |
| 1:33.2 | Perhaps they say come back home live with us for a while as you go through this difficult |
