Hello to everybody with an amazingly on-brand psychiatrist name.

It's beautiful anonymous one hour, one phone call, no names, no holds thought.

I'd rather go one on one. I think it'll be more fun and I'll get to know you and you'll get to know me.

Hi everybody, Chris Gether here. Welcome to beautiful anonymous. So happy to bring you another episode.

Because if you're new to this show, here's what we do. We take phone calls. We talk to people one hour at a time.

We make the phone calls very relaxed. There's no agenda. You just come, you tell a story. You air out an opinion.

You share what you want to share. You make it as exciting or as boring as you feel. And we learn about the world one hour at a time.

And we fight back against loneliness. This is what we do. And I'll tell you, this episode ties into that.

Before I get into it, I want to say thanks to everybody who came out to Toronto, Comedy Bar, love that spot.

Thank you so much. I have some dates actually in Oklahoma and Texas in August.

Because who doesn't want to go to Oklahoma and Texas in the dead heat of August. But I'll have him fall in that in the coming weeks.

You're about to hear from a psychologist. She's got a doctorate. She does things her own way. She's seen a lot.

She's worked with people from all different stripes. And I was able to talk to this psychologist about what are you seeing?

What are the broad strokes of what's messing people up right now? What's your advice when people ask how do I know when to see a doctor for the first time?

How do I help know when it's time to bring my kid to see a mental health professional for the first time?

And here's what I really loved. She's off the clock. It's not clinical. It's, it's, hey, I'm a psychologist who thinks very hard about how to do what I do and do it well.

But if we're just going to be talking behind the scenes about how I'm really feeling and a casual way.

Here's all the things you need to know and I think that that's hugely valuable. And if you're out there right now and you're thinking maybe it's time to see somebody.

I hope you do. It's mental health awareness month. There's no better month to start.

And if you're sitting here wondering why things are the way they are and why we're all stressed out as we are right now. She's got some good thoughts on it.

I feel really lucky I got to talk to her. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Thank you for calling beautiful anonymous a beeping noise will indicate when you're on the show with the host.
