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.

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. All right.

And I actually also just hired somebody as a sort of publicist, consultant type person for the

podcast.

So look out for some interesting changes on the horizon. A couple things

particularly that you might want to look out for I have a two-part interview series

coming up with the director of the Ketamine Clinics in Los Angeles and then also a personal

interview with somebody who benefited from ketamine treatments for their depression
