to date dating as a therapist is also really challenging.

Sure.

It has its own pieces.

Yeah, there's this growth.

And I think there's so much growth that happens in that healthy relationship, right?

I think you know probably more than anyone that there's an amount of healing that we can do on our own when we're single.

And then we're going to get into that relationship and it's going to trigger all the stuff that can't be triggered when you're single. So I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said that because there's a lot of people who, especially in today's world where we're talking, you know, at people and what you should do and what is healthy. But if you're talking about relationships and you have not been in one or you're not, you don't have to be in one now, of course, because you've had relationships.

Just honest.

Rebecca, hey, can we pretend like we're not recording because I'm such a fan of people coming into the room and recording everything that they don't get to hear?

Yes, yes. I will do my best to pretend that we're not recording. Yes. How are you? How is your day? What's, what's, what's going on in Rebecca's life? Oh, today's been good. It's been a bit of

all over the place, to be honest. Are you seeing, are, do you see clients today? I do. Most of my clients today are in the

afternoon. So I have a handful of clients in having a really hard time right now. So reached out for me to meet for check-ins. I actually had another interview this morning for another podcast guest appearance, which was exciting. Yeah. And then working on the marketing for my courses, my social media, and then I'll have clients this afternoon.
