Good evening, everybody. How y'all doing? Getting through the week. Beautiful weather out here.

I'm going to talk about as much as possible because it's finally cooling down, not struggling in that

sweltering heat. Although every time I thought that the weather was cooling down, we'd have a hot day

where the sun would just penetrate through that cooler weather. But wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying the

temperature that the new seasons are affording us. I don't know. Whenever the weather starts to get

cooler and it starts to rain a little bit over here, there's something very cleansing or

refreshing in it for me. So I welcome that. I like I like symbolism because clearly it's not

necessarily truly doing that, but there's something. It also brings me back to the west to the east

coast. I share about that often the changing of the weather, the changing of the leaves. There's

something very renewing in that for me, kind of leading us into the holidays. West Coast, it's interesting. You don't always

know that it's holiday season. If you're out a lot, you maybe see the decorations, but otherwise,

there's not a lot of environmental markers, because again, it always looks the same. But back

east, like I said, the leaves change. We get a little snow. It's darker, longer.

I don't know.

It's meaningful.

I miss it.

I miss it.

I thought we could open the show with an interesting topic and piece of research.

It's either going to go really well or it's going to be really corny. And it's basically about things that therapists themselves do when they're having a bad day. Hopefully some of these are

helpful and I'll weigh in on the things I do. I've shared about this before that one of the

things I see in patients at work in my practice also in my own life is this idea of transition.

And I think we don't necessarily give that enough power and meaning or value.
