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 ways 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 everyone and welcome to episode eight.

I'm sure that when you saw the title, some people like,

I'm not going to listen to that one, but I got to tell you, sitting here with my wrestling shirt and someone who has been watching wrestling all my life, I was very excited about this episode because I wanted it to be a conversation in regards to the psychology of wrestling.

I invited someone who's probably as crazy of a wrestling fan as I am in a good way.

Her name is Lisa Dennis.

Lisa works in strategy for a large U.S. bank.

And we are united by our love of wrestling and psychology, frankly, because we've had a lot of conversations about that also.

But I wanted to invite someone that understands that wrestling is much more than just my soap opera anyway since 1979, 1980.

I can't really remember when I started watching.

But I also wanted to make it accessible to everyone who may not think of wrestling in the same way.

So I'm hoping this conversation goes really well.
