| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserve listeners. We have a special guest with us today, Isaiah from Therapy Today, the YouTube |
| 0:06.6 | channel. Welcome to the YouTube channel and podcast, Isaiah. Thank you so much. You are a therapist, |
| 0:14.2 | a counselor, correct? Yes. In Virginia. Yes, LPC. You reached out to Colab and I was on your YouTube channel and now |
| 0:25.5 | you're on mine and we're going to talk about hot takes that we both pulled our listeners for |
| 0:31.9 | hot takes about mental health. And so we're going to go over some of those today. |
| 0:44.3 | But first, I just want to say I want to thank you for reaching out because I like to least get to know other psychology counseling content providers. |

| 1:42.2 | ethics. It's a part of our work. But also, I want to send the message to the public that, you know, to our viewers and listeners that we're not at odds with each other, even if we don't necessarily say the same things. |
| 1:56.1 | You know, I think there can be times where I will have listeners or viewers of my channel that will say, I like |
| 2:04.7 | Kirk better than so-and-so, and so-and-so is stupid and Kirk is good. And I'm assuming on the other |
