0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome back to seeking witchcraft. Today, we are going to be talking about mental health
0:05.9	and its relation to witchcraft. As a fun fact, this episode has also been sponsored by a mental
0:12.3	health company. So you're going to be hearing me talk about that a little bit later, as well as again
0:16.7	in some future episodes, but I just want to give you a heads up. Also, as a not fun fact, I am just
0:21.7	getting over COVID. COVID selection, I'll wear your mask, make sure you're vaccinated. Thankfully,
0:26.0	I was completely vaccinated, so I'm good to go, and I am doing just fine. But if my voice is a little
0:32.3	rough, that's why I got, I have the residual cough. But with all of that said, I also want to thank
0:40.1	the Patreon members before we start this episode for helping to submit questions. Thank you guys
0:45.2	so much. This episode format is going to be going through a list of questions. And yeah,
0:50.9	definitely appreciate your input. So to help with the discussion of this episode,
0:55.2	I do have on a special guest, Flynn. So thank you Flynn so much for coming on. Would you like to
0:59.2	introduce yourself? Hello, guys. My name is Flynn. I am a first-degree gardenarian. I have been
1:06.3	practicing witchcraft since I was about 13 years old. I'm 30 now for context. I have also been dealing with mental health issues since I was around that age and have a family that has a strong history with it. I'm really excited to be here. I never thought that I would be on the podcast because I don't like the sound of my own voice,
1:27.9	but this topic is really important to me, and I'm excited to be here for the discussion today.
1:34.8	Cool. Well, thanks so much, Flynn, for coming on and agreeing to do this podcast with me
1:39.1	and also willing to be open and share your experiences and your input, definitely appreciate it.
1:46.1	So before I begin, I just want to state that neither Flynn nor myself are licensed professionals.
1:51.0	We do not work in mental health. We are not licensed in this. I do have an academic background
1:56.0	in the form of a graduate degree in clinical psychology that I have a little bit of knowledge on, but I am not
2:02.4	a licensed professional, and neither is Flynn. The things that we discuss and the advice that we are
2:06.3	giving on this episode is just purely our opinion and our thoughts based on our own experiences,
2:11.4	as well, some input from some friends we spoke to prior to recording this episode.
