All right, kiddos, this is your earmuffs warning.

This is not an over-the-top raunchy podcast, but if you've read my books, you know I'm not afraid

to use some colorful language.

We might also cover some adult topics if they come up in the questions so just be aware of that.

Finally I need to remind you that while I am a therapist I'm not your therapist so

please don't try to use this as a substitute for professional help.

Also, please don't try to sue me.

Thank you. All right, what is up, ladies, and friends of allieties. This is the Hardcore Self-Help

Podcast episode 49. I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, a psychologist from

Southern California and the author of the Hardcore Self-Help book series.

And welcome. Next episode is going to be episode 50 who

I mentioned during the last podcast that I want you guys to send me in your success

stories I've gotten a few so far and they're really great, really inspiring,

big and small stories that I'm happy to be able to share during the next episode. I want to read them off and talk

about them and stuff like that.

But send me some more if you guys have them,

if you have small moments of victory

or big moments of victory having to do

with your mental illness, or even if you don't have a mental illness if there are some mental

health struggles that you've gone through and you've been able to work through that in

some way please send them over I really really want to share those because it's

important to have you know a little bit of picture of the the things that can go well too.
