0:00.0	Hi everyone, it's Eve here. Today is day three of my favourite radio headspace episodes,
0:12.2	and we are digging into something I think is really important. The episode is called
0:17.6	the Courage to Ask for Help. I feel like generally speaking when people say, hey, how
0:23.6	are you? The answer is either, you have fine or good, even if you're not feeling that
0:29.1	way at all, because it can be scary to tell the truth. But I think this is something
0:34.6	we can reframe. We're so quick to think that if we say, I don't understand, or I'm struggling,

1:42.6	books by my bed. What can I say, I love a good story. So get comfortable, settle in,
1:50.1	and have a good story. One of the books I have is called Letters to Sam, and it's biopsychologist
1:58.2	and family therapist called Dr. Daniel Gottlieb. I cannot recommend it enough. Dr. Gottlieb
2:06.2	had a terrible accident over 30 years ago, which left him paralyzed from the chest down.
2:13.0	And at 14 months old, his grandson Sam was diagnosed with a severe form of autism. And
2:20.9	this book is a series of letters from Dr. Gottlieb to his grandson Sam. And there are so many
2:28.8	wonderful letters, but one in particular really stood out to me. So this one particular story
