Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan for you. Um, something I've been

kind of, uh, sitting on wanting to talk about for a while and I thought this is very apropos.

So, um, you know, it's, it's kind of general. It's, you know, how do we manage our feelings in such a

difficult time, which I've hit before in the most recent couple of shows, but this is a very

different perspective. That's what I love about psychology. There's so many different ways

to look at something from the health and wellness perspective, from the disordered and pathological

perspective, where I can talk about, you know, what is a toxic partner? What is a toxic relationship?

How do you know when your relationship is broken? That's one really great important show.

And then another show is what do we have to do to keep our relationships healthy and thriving?

What are green lights to continue seeing or dating someone? What are signs that you've really

found someone you can trust? So this one's really about our mental health and wellness. And neurology is beautiful when it aligns perfectly with theory and philosophy. And, you know,

what I've been really touched or moved by having done mental health work for two decades,

being a psychologist for two decades.

General and, you know, sexual psychologist.

Because my work is general psychology, you know, did a doctorate in clinical psychology,

and then went on to also do a doctorate in sexology, human sexuality, and sex therapy,

and then getting certified.

So it really rounds out my interests of sex relationships and mental health.

But what's really been impactful and really powerful to see is how plastic our mental health can be,

meaning we can really work with it and try to do the best we can to make it very robust.

Now, of course, things happen in our lives.

They're going to impact
