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 49 of finding your way through therapy. I am Steve Bissau. So if you haven't

listened to episode 48 yet, please do so.

Jen Nakai is an amazing guest. I've known her for a while. We talked about social inequality.

We talked about substance abuse inequality, as well as other stuff that's related to inequalities.

And I thought that it was a great conversation, so I hope you take time to do so.

But episode 49 will be about dark humor. Why do I talk about dark humor? Because I think it gets a bad

rap. So we can define dark humor all you want, and I can definitely do that as a kind of humor

that treats sinister subjects like death, disease, deformity, handicap, or warfare with bitter amusement.
