good afternoon everyone it's dr niger again with our next episode of psychology unplugged uh it's been a nice

uh last 10 11 days um julie actually convinced me to take some time off uh which is a foreign land for me.

I'm somebody who's driven by work and my job and my career and just the love for what I do for a living.

So that's why I wasn't in an upload an episode last week because something that I continue to work on and I tell a lot of my patients, you know, it's much easier when you're in this position to tell people what to do.

And it's like, do as I say, not as I do, is finding a

work-life balance. And that is something that I perpetually work on. But it has been nice

and look forward to getting back into, you know, a busy schedule and appreciate everybody

who follows this podcast.

I do my best to give back to everybody and thank you for all of your feedback and your

insights.

And again, speaking to such a broad audience of professionals and individuals with mental health

issues or someone in relationship with people with mental health issues, it's an interesting

task and there's the water, as always. It's a difficult task because I try to talk in a way that appeals to or at least has some

resonance with all audiences.

But I think today's topic will definitely be something that I think is something we can

all relate to.

And it's really about having mixed feelings.

Again, another ironic topic for someone who I've said a multiple of the podcasts in, you know,

cognitive behavioral treatment. We really de-emphasize feelings and focus primarily

on cognitions and thoughts and beliefs and schemas and behaviors.

But we cannot discount the totality of the human experience because all of us feel.

All of us have feelings.
