Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general,

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations.

So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely but feel free to feel it out

check out the episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay

but you know feel free to give it a shot first I also need to say that while I am a

psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist.

This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help.

So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. What should we talk about first then? Well, I do my intro.

That's right, you need to do your... What should we talk about first then? Well, I gotta do my intro.

I promise.

Ready.
