| 0:04.8 | Hey guys, it's Alana and you're listening to seeing other people unfiltered. |
| 0:09.8 | It's Thursday, so that means real-life daters are coming on to share their real, sometimes shocking, and always unfiltered experiences. |
| 0:17.7 | Think you're alone out there? |
| 0:18.9 | Think you're the only one whose ex hooked up with your mom or whose last date ended up being a catfish. Think again. All right, you guys. I am here with Dr. Victoria Grinman. Victoria, welcome to seeing other people. Thanks, Alana. I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to have you here. You are a therapist. You have your own business as a |
| 0:38.4 | therapist. There's also so much more to you as a person, which I like to remind everyone, you know, |
| 0:44.0 | we have a lot of experts on this podcast, but I love also getting into the backstory of who you really |
| 0:50.2 | are and what you've been through and what led you to here and now. And so I am so excited |
| 0:55.7 | to have you on and can't wait to get into this conversation. So tell us a little bit about, |

| 1:26.8 | And digging into characters when I was a kid |
| 1:30.1 | led me to digging into myself, to other people. The most appropriate way to actually express |
| 1:36.3 | that in the world is to become a therapist. And so it's been honestly amazing, been wonderful. |
| 1:43.2 | And I specialize in lots of different things. I'm a trauma-informed |
| 1:47.7 | therapist. I use an integrative approach. And so in the beginning of my career, I worked a lot |
| 1:52.8 | with young kids and teenagers, lots of families. And now in my private practice, a lot of families still, |
| 1:59.6 | children and teens as well, but a lot more couples, |
| 2:02.9 | parents, families. I love working with people related to their relationships. And then the other |
| 2:10.3 | side of my practice, which I love so much, is mentoring therapists and coaches on actually creating sustainable and value-driven practices. |
