Welcome to episode 126 with my guest, therapist Susan Hagen, I'm Paul Gail Martin, this is

the metal illness, happy hour, and hour two of all the battles in her head, a little dramatic

greeting there, and hour two about all the battles in her heads, for medically diagnosed

conditions and past traumas to everyday compulsive negative thinking.

This shows not meant to be a substitute for professional metal counseling, it's not a doctor's

office, it's more like a waiting room that doesn't suck.

The website for this show is mentalpod.com, it's also the Twitter name you can follow me

at, and yeah, go to the website, check it out, you can take surveys, you can join the forum,

you can read blogs by me and other people, you can support the show financially, blah,

blah, blah.

Today's show is a little on the long side, so I'm going to get right into it and read a

little section of an email I got from a listener named Julian, because I think this is great

for anybody in the New York area.

If you are, you might want to grab a pen, if you're looking for low fee therapy or free

therapy, Julian writes, I want to recommend anyone with not a lot of money in the New York

City area to check out the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.

I might need to go to therapy just for how long that name is.

Again, it's the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.

Julian writes, I went through a lot of trial and error trying to find a free slash low-cost

therapist in New York, these guys take the cake.

It's absolutely free, you're promptly placed with the therapist, medication is covered

and available on site at the pharmacy.
