to point the finger, right? Like you're irresponsible. That's why you have gonorrhea or your sense

irresponsible. That's why you're pregnant without paying any notion to the fact that you know people make decisions in their lives,

sometimes irrationally because they are living

under circumstances that are dire.

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, 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 I'll All right.

Hello, friends of all varieties, this is the Hardcore Self-Help Podcast episode 175.
