| 0:00.0 | So Bob, I get a text from you the other week and you tell me that there's a New York Times article |
| 0:07.4 | that is pissing you off. Yes, I forgot to bring it. I have it right in front of me. Oh, right on. |
| 0:12.9 | So let's go over that and find out what made you so angry. |
| 0:18.0 | For the listeners out there, Bob just made two fists or two claw, claw hands because he was so |
| 0:24.2 | frustrated with the article. This article is called, does therapy really work by Susan Dominus? |
| 0:31.3 | So I'm just going to read sections that I have. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but there's |
| 0:35.5 | different excerpts that I pulled right on over the decades. And especially since the pandemic, |
| 0:41.6 | the stigma of therapy is faded. It has come to be perceived as a form of important self-care, |
| 0:47.1 | almost like a gym membership, normalized as routine, healthy commitment, and clearly worth the |
| 0:53.2 | many hours and sizable amounts of money invested. Just so far, is it pissing you off yet? |

| 1:06.0 | an important way to put it. And I think people should go to therapy if they need to, but not |
| 1:11.8 | everybody needs to. So I think that's a big lib. Yeah, it's a little dismissive. On one hand, |
| 1:18.8 | I celebrate the fact that people are much more likely to go to therapy. I mean, you don't live |
| 1:25.5 | online, really, but you should know that the phrase I talked with my therapist the other day |
| 1:32.5 | is a very frequent phrase that you will hear from influencers, podcasters, YouTubers, actors, |
| 1:38.9 | famous people. I would guess most of the famous people that you know of, directors, actors, |
| 1:47.2 | will talk openly about going to therapy in a healthy, humble manner. And that was not the case |
| 1:55.6 | when we were younger, correct? Yes. No, it wasn't. Yeah. I mean, we're old enough, and we've been |
| 2:00.6 | therapist long enough to remember when just saying that we were a therapist or a counselor was a |
| 2:07.2 | way to shut down a conversation, because everyone would be like scared of us or they would be |
| 2:13.7 | skeptical of even our profession. What are we doing? Or oh, you just talk to crazy people or |
