And it wasn't the kind of presentation you might give at work where they're there to listen to you, they know you. I would do this in front of strangers. It would be like sales meetings where a lot of times the people only came to my meeting because I brought pizza and I'm brand new to them and I'd sit there it was not it was a hostile environment a lot of times and when I first started doing that like you know seven years ago it kind of

coincided with the show and doing the show is maybe so much better talking in

front of people thinking on my feet being funny and that's really translated into these presentations, and now I don't

get nervous at all when I do these.

So there's selfish benefits of the show that's made me better as a person.

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 good. All right,
