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.

Hi, and welcome to episode 39, which is my favorite episode of this season.

As I said before, it was hard to make a choice, what I had to make a

choice, and I decided on Crystal Partney. Crystal talked about suicide, something that no one really

talks about because it is a taboo subject. She talks about the loss of her sister to suicide,

which is, again, a taboo subject, and she opens up in such a great way and talks about her

mission that is so important to me and to her, obviously.

So I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Crystal Partney is an author, speaker, and suicide grief coach and founder of Scattering Hope and Al and Tistle.
