Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy.

I'm your host, Steve Biesel.

The goal of this podcast is to demystify therapy, what can happen in therapy, and the

wide array of conversations you can have in therapy.

I also talk to guests about therapy, their experience with therapy, and how psychology is present in many places in their lives.
