Basically one month countdown to like wedding and 35th birthday, so I'm kind of like

on a bit of a bit of a exercise kick.

It's like a big freaking deal.

This is other people's problems, a show about therapy. This is other people's problems, a show about therapy.

I'm Hillary McBride.

This episode, we hear from Sloan.

We've changed her name to protect her privacy. When you're listening to this session, what I want you to hear is all of the pain that's underneath the story that she's telling me, that there is so much wounding that she's carried with her throughout her adult life.

The abuse that she went through

has catastrophically transformed the way she exists in the world, the way she perceives of herself

and other people. And I want you to hear that in rare circumstances like this, putting a name

and a label on things actually can be educative, that it can be empowering, that it can be healing for someone to understand that the pain that they carry and the things that are confusing to them in their present day life are not a function of them being a bad, awful, crazy person, but their bruises.

So, yes, I'm feeling really excited. I'm feeling anxious. I'm feeling all of the feelings

that I think any normal person would be feeling leading up to their wedding. I'm feeling a little bit

angry of it because, so he has been really, if I try to like talk about

her wedding, he gets really upset about it, especially if it's at work.
