Hi and welcome to finding your way through therapy. I'm your host Steve Bissom.

The goal of this podcast is to de-mystify therapy, what can happen in therapy, and the wide array of conversations you can have in

therapy.

I also talk to guests about therapy, their experience with therapy, and how psychology is present in many places in their lives.

I also share personal stories.

him just because he had very thick sunglasses on and part of me was like I didn't feel comfortable and I know

people are going to say that's hindsight but ultimately I really did see that

and I sat down my two kids are sitting in the seat in front of me with a woman next to them.

I'm sitting with my girlfriend behind them and there's a woman next to my girlfriend.

I have the outside seat.

So flight goes off without a hitch.

We end up being in flight for, I don't know,
