| 0:00.0 | This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole. |
| 0:09.5 | For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach, and on this show I will bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines of the fascinating |
| 0:25.2 | worlds of entertainment, empowerment, and mental health. |
| 0:28.6 | Now let's get going with today's episode. |
| 0:37.0 | Well, hello and welcome to Hello Freedom. I'm your host Terry Cole. |
| 0:39.0 | As always, I'm super grateful and excited that you decided to hang out with me for a little bit today. |
| 0:47.0 | Today's episode is a Terry Talks, and as my husband would say boy does she ever and actually I am handling some of the |

| 1:56.8 | Not dark in here don't know what you're talking about and so this sets up her over time going crazy believing that she's crazy. There is a more modern |
| 2:06.3 | film out called The Girl on the Train which is basically a modern day story of someone being gazlet by their husband and then he becomes |
