Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy.

I am your host, Steve Bissan.

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.

mine, Blythe Landry. She has written a book called Trauma Intelligence. She is a duly licensed

LCSW or Masters in Social Work, as well as a master's in education, has been working 20

plus years helping clients recover from trauma, grief, and addiction. She does a lot of

one-on-one. She does corporate events. She also has a lot of workshops that she likes to do and

has been in different organizations across that time frame. I actually worked with her on one of
