Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago

and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations.

I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose

because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated.

I am sitting at a McDonald's staring at a

impressive three-story playpen, something I never noticed,

but now that I have a two-year-old, that shit matters, I am also feeling

guilt and shame.

I don't know if I'm feeling shame yet.

I am feeling guilt. Let's see if the shame kicks in because I rarely come to

McDonald's and this is something that I have to or I used to have to keep secret because whoever I was

dating did not approve and so I feel like I'm I'm at a porn shop in the 80s where when you leave the store you want to run to

your car as fast as you can with your head down and not wanting to see anyone.

Now... down and not wanting to see anyone.

Now, let's talk about self-care and self-bashing or self-destruction and the fine line between.

So I am here because I told myself

that I would allow myself to have a couple chicken nuggets, right?

Not a 20 piece, like a couple of chicken nuggets.

Um, and like a couple chicken nuggets and a small like a small

cheeseburger fries and a Coke diet cook and I was okay with that because I've been punching keys all morning. I've been very productive.

And so this isn't really lunch because I'm not filling up on it.

It is, it's an appetizer.
