The following podcast is a dear media production.

And welcome back to another episode of Long Winded.

Let me start with this.

I had to crack it without you.

I was desperately parched.

I'll start with giving you the latest with Carol. If you're new here, Carol is my therapist. We've been seeing each other for about a year now and we've gone

through many phases of our relationship. We're getting to know each other more. I guess this is the

longest I've seen a therapist straight so I don't really know what happens after the six month mark. But now she's making everything about her. She's like, well, I hope you feel some sense of support in your life. Do you have anyone to go to for guidance? And I'm like, yeah, like,

I go to Robbie. She's the best. You know, she has great advice. We bounce ideas off of each other.

She's just, I feel like, inherently why she's been through some shit. You guys know how much I love

Robbie. I can go on and on and on. I'm so lucky. And yes,

she gives me a lot of guidance. She's been in the industry for so long, so knows how to navigate it.

And it's helped me. So I am really lucky to have her, I say. And Carol was like, well, I hope you can come to me.

Oh. Oh. Oh. was like, well, I hope you can come to me.

Sorry, Carol, I didn't know this was about you.

I thought it was kind of a trick question, like just something you have to ask all of your clients.

Oh, yeah, well, let's make sure you have at least one person of support.

So you're not calling me every weekend, but not Carol.

She's like, I hope you feel that way about me. Of course. I've never thought to ask you one question. I thought I'm supposed to show up every Wednesday with information that I'm trying to figure out about you know, about myself, what have I taken personally last week so I can bring it to you this week so we can unpack it and discover how

it's all related to my mother anyway. But no, she wants a different sort of dialogue.

She knows I'm terrified of people.

I tell her all the time.
