| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to Finding Your Way Through Therapy. I am your host, Steve Bisa. I'm an author and |
| 0:07.5 | mental health counselor. Are you curious about therapy? Do you feel there is a lot of mystery about |
| 0:13.3 | therapy? Do you wonder what your therapist is doing and why? The goal of this podcast is to |
| 0:18.7 | make therapy and psychology accessible to all by using real language and straight to the point |
| 0:23.5 | discussions. This podcast wants to remind you to take care of your mental health just like you |

| 1:35.2 | going to be released in two weeks after the Olympics. But I thought this would be a great place |
| 1:40.8 | to start talking about mental health and sports, particularly some on-biles. At this point, |
| 1:46.4 | we don't know if she's going to be joining the two other events that she may or may not do. So |
| 1:51.8 | I'm late on that. But the one thing that really struck a whole lot of people is she decided to not |
| 1:58.0 | do a few events because of her own mental health and she talked about the twisties which I'm assuming |
