| 0:26.3 | And this isn't just the case with, you know, relationships. This is the case for all sorts of different things, but we do this a lot where we just kind of piece by piece build up this house of cards around us so that if we have to admit that something's wrong or admit to fault of ours, whatever the circumstances for you personally, if we do that, then the whole house of cards comes tumbling down the whole elaborate structure you know falls down. Hey everybody before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers |
| 0:30.3 | 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. |
| 0:37.0 | I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect and recognize your limitations. |
| 0:44.0 | So please use your best judgment. |
| 0:46.0 | I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, |
| 0:50.0 | but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. |
| 0:53.2 | If you need to skip, that's okay, but you know, feel free to give it a shot first. |

| 1:32.8 | I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych. |
| 1:35.8 | I make mental health content for real people, just like you. |
| 1:39.3 | And today I have a question and answer episode. |
| 1:41.7 | This one I'm just going to do one question. |
| 1:43.7 | So potentially a shorter episode here, |
| 1:45.6 | but we'll see how that works out. |
| 1:46.8 | Sometimes I say it's going to be short |
| 1:48.1 | and I end up rambling and it takes a long time. |
| 1:50.9 | But yeah, just a one question with kind of two parts in it. I thought it was a really good question and a little lower energy myself today. |
| 1:58.0 | So I figured I'd be nice to myself and record one question instead of pushing it and doing two or more. |
