Let's welcome to the show morning studio morning.

Let me put on first Caitlin and Kansas who has called us. Hey Caitlin, good morning. How are you? Good. How are you? Pretty good. What can I help you with?

So I'm a Paula's freshman and I just started going to therapy and I was wondering how I should tell my mom I'm going.

Why do you worry that it will be an issue if you tell your mom? My mom and I don't have a really good relationship and I'm afraid that if I tell her she's going to want to know what we're talking about.

I think it's fair to think that she probably will honestly, but it's not her right to know what you talk about. I think I would approach it as and again, I never knew what therapy was growing up. I grew up in a small town in Arkansas.

We'd have any money. You weren't trying to worry about therapy. You were trying to get food. You're trying to eat. So I know what it's like to have to get into something brand new.

It has been extremely valuable for me, but I would approach it to go, hey, mom, I've been doing something really cool. Like I feel like I can improve the relationship with us and I can be a better daughter family member sister student by going to therapy and it's really been productive.

And if she asks, well, what do you talk about? You can say all that. I say we talk about a lot of things. How I can be better at XYZ. Make it very eucentric and not about your mom. So she doesn't feel like that she's the victim here.
