This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

Psychotherapy, Psychotherapy, there's one they want to give me psychotherapy psychotherapy

psychotherapy

I mean I had to play that song at some point right

psychotherapy by the Ramones

I actually found a skid Row version of that song.

That's not half bad, but I'm a traditionalist, so I decided to go with the original.

But yeah, so today we're not talking about psychotherapy as much as we are going to be talking about psychotherapists because I have been thinking for a while now

that at some point I need to do an episode of the podcast that's really kind of like a public

service announcement even more than some of the others around things to watch out for if you are getting involved in counseling

or coaching or psychotherapy with someone because I have heard some really scary stories

more so lately and I think there is an education factor know, the truth is is that a lot of people, you know, from time to time think, hey, I need to go talk to somebody. So what do you do? You start Googling around. You, you know, look for people in your area. And, you know, somebody has a slick website. It looks pretty good. They

seem like somebody you would feel comfortable with. You're like, hey, why not? They do online

booking. And you get involved with a practitioner, a mental health practitioner, a life coach

of some kind.

And before you know it, you're in the pool with someone.

And it can be very, very difficult to know, like, what is good quality therapy or marriage

counseling or life coaching?

And what is not? Like, what are signs

that you're not having the experience that you deserve to have? Especially if you, if it's like

your first experience and you haven't done it before. So that is the intention of today's podcast.

I'm going to be giving some overviews like things to look for, things to watch out for.
