| 0:07.5 | Hey, this is Alexis Haines and welcome to Recovering from Reality, where I illuminate the |
| 0:12.8 | messy and magical path of coming home to yourself. Whether you're on the road to recovery, |
| 0:18.2 | seeking self-care techniques for surviving the capitalist machine, or just need a moment to |
| 0:23.2 | remember that you're not alone in your loneliness. We're serving up the ultimate truth. Your challenges |
| 0:29.9 | don't define you, how you deal with them does. So are you ready to recover from reality? |
| 0:38.3 | We need to have expectations because that's how the human brain is built. And by the way, 99.9% |

| 2:06.4 | So in today's episode, actually funny story. Dr. V was actually the psychotherapist that was |
