Hi. Quick disclaimer. I am not a doctor or a mental health professional or a psychiatrist.

I often sound like I'm maybe one, but I'm not. Dr. Henderson, I am not. But in the next two

episodes I will be discussing stories which relate to the brain,

to the workings of the brain, and emotion and mental health. So if you are an expert, great.

Get in touch. But also, remember, I'm not. I'm just a guy telling some stories and trying to do it as responsibly as I can.

Say it like a dark room.

Go on, picture a dark room. Okay okay and right in the middle there is a tiny beam of light imagine that

person steps in to that beam of light and is visible and then a second person steps in

and then a third

and now all three people are visible in the light

Arthur

an extremely sophisticated and educated Englishman.

Reagan, a Yugoslavian keeper of hate. Alan a con man.

Tommy.

An escape artist.

Danny, who is afraid of people, especially men.

David aged 8

Christine aged 3

Christopher

he plays the harmonica

and Adalana a lesbian.

Imagine all of them.
