Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy. I am your host, Steve Bissom. I'm an author and

mental health counselor. Are you curious about therapy? Do you feel there is a lot of mystery about

therapy? Do you wonder what your therapist is doing and why? The goal of this podcast is to make

therapy and psychology accessible to all by using real language and straight to the point discussions.

This podcast wants to remind you to take care of your mental health, just like you would your physical health.

Therapy should not be intimidating. It should be a great way to better health.

I will demystify what happens in counseling, discuss topics related to mental

health and discussions you can have with your therapist. I also want to introduce psychology

in everyday life, as I feel most of our lives are enmeshed in psychology. I want to introduce

the subtle and not so subtle way psychology plays a factor in our lives. It will be my own mix of thoughts as well as special guests.

So join me on this discovery of therapy and psychology.

Hi and welcome to episode 11.

Episode 11 will be used as a bridge between the original episodes, the first 10 that I had, as well as the episode

12 and 13 who are going to be the most popular and my favorite one. I think that I'm going to do

this for several reasons. The reason why we're going to have a couple of bests of is that I'm

going to take about a three-week rest period before getting back into season two, which

this works out the best way. I also want to tell you that it was my first season. I've never

done podcasting, obviously. And I think that I'm learning as I go. And I've had a lot of people

support me with that, which I really truly appreciate. And I've had a lot of good feedback from

different people.

So wanted to tell you about how the episodes went and why they exist.

So the first one was why am I doing this podcast and really wanted to make sure that everyone understood that therapy can be a very simple process, something that people can reach out to and that we can do on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, depending on how much you need basis.
