Hi, I'm Tony Mantor.

Welcome to Why Not Me, embracing autism and mental health worldwide.

Joining us today is Dr. Cochran. She's a renowned psychologist with

countless individuals navigate life's challenges with

resilience and clarity. She brings a unique blend of scientific insight and heartfelt wisdom to her

work, making complex psychological concepts accessible to all. She has a wealth of information

for us. So before we dive into our episode, we'll be back with an uninterrupted

show right after a word from our sponsors. Thanks for coming on. I'm excited. Yes, me too. Great to

have you on. If you would, give us a little background. What do you do? Well, I work with people and

relationships, and I help them get unstuck, and I help them get away from fear and avoidance

and moving toward what they want. Okay. Can you expand on that? Can you give us a little information

on the types of people you work with? Well, I work with children and adults. I work with trauma.
