Summary
Hey, friends! This episode is a little different. Rather than taking listener questions, I decided to share something that is working really well for me. I take you through a five-step process for doing what I like to call "self-therapy." This is usually done while I am in the car or walking the dog. I highly suggest you also talk out loud to yourself like a weirdo.

| 0:10.0 | What you do need to do is sort of balance it out and also see some of the positive. |

| 0:17.5 | This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general, |
| 0:21.7 | and some of those could be sensitive for you. |
| 0:23.8 | I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave and consuming difficult content but also |
| 0:28.4 | 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. |
| 0:44.0 | I also need to say that while I am a psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your |
| 0:48.1 | therapist. This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for professional help. |
| 0:54.8 | So with those said, let's go ahead and get into the show. All right. |

| 1:20.2 | I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka De Psych. I make mental health content for real people just like you. |
| 1:26.5 | And today we are doing something a little bit different. This is going to be a pretty short and sweet episode. I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately. |
| 1:36.2 | This one probably actually will be though. I'm not going to do a question to answer this week. |
| 1:41.4 | I had the idea that I would like to share with you one |
| 1:45.2 | thing that's been working really well for me and it's relatively simple but I just |

| 1:58.0 | You can't do therapy on yourself. |
