Absolutely.

If I can't how many times I've heard, you know, big husky guys in tears say, I've never said this before.

I've never told anybody this before.

You know, these individuals who are not used to being vulnerable,

but they're at their breaking point.

And to see them finally, just let it go and share, you know we we we all like have such a

tendency to feel like we go through this world alone and nobody understands our

pain and that's just not true.

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 and 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 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.
