Hey, coming up on today's episode of the virtual couch, do I really need more toilet paper?

And what if my fridge has a new filter? Should I get more bottled water? I mean, everybody else is talking about it.

Today, we talk about why we tend to follow the crowd and whether or not it's always the best idea.

Now, please do not think this is a podcast telling you not to help flatten the curve or engage in social distancing.

Absolutely not.

We're talking about toilet paper and bottled water and the psychology behind the phenomenon of,

I mean, well, I guess our mom's kind of said it best, just because everybody else is jumping

off that bridge. Does that mean you have to as well? That and plenty more. Coming up on this

episode of the Virtual Couch.

Hey, everybody, I just wanted to take a second.

And yes, this is an ad.

But I want this to be a little bit different right now.

Honestly, whether or not you click through my link or follow the referral code I'm about to give you is a bit irrelevant.

I think for right now with a lot of the things that we're kind of dealing with as a country as a world, the pandemic around COVID-19, the coronavirus,

that there are a lot of people that are struggling with some of their mental health challenges.

And I know that because of the text that I get as a therapist, that people are worried about

getting into to see their therapist, especially if they've worked on a lot of things in the past.

And so I just want to encourage you to reach out to your therapist.

A lot of therapists do have telehealth options available.

I know that's reached out to a lot of my clients yesterday.

Let them know that. or if you are really, I don't know, maybe this is the thing that has caused you to feel like you

really do want to talk to somebody or you are having maybe an extra bit of anxiety or depression
