So tell us first a little bit about yourself.

You've been on the podcast a couple times, but for anyone that's new, tell us who you are.

Sure.

I'm a psychotherapist.

I've been in practice for 20 years and treat mainly anxiety and what has become adjacent to anxiety is relationship issues because
