| 0:00.0 | So Bob, we got some really juicy emails. Let's get into it. What do you say? I say yes. |
| 0:05.4 | This email is from anonymous patron. She says, Hi, Dr. Kirk and Bob, I have worked with my |
| 0:12.4 | there. This is kind of a long email. So we'll kind of chime in as we go. Okay. So we have her saying, |
| 0:19.8 | I have worked with my therapist for about five years through so many milestones and challenges, |
| 0:24.4 | including going through my master's program in marriage of family therapy. Since I entered |
| 0:29.0 | graduate school, about four years ago, they have offered, the therapist has offered lots of |
| 0:34.0 | insight and school career specific advice and quasi supervision mentorship along the way. |
| 0:40.8 | So just chime in here. What do you think about that? I think it's okay. I mean, I don't know what's |
| 0:44.8 | going on specific, but I have relied on my therapist for some mentorship along the way. |
| 0:50.8 | Mint therapists for mentorship along the way. I think it's okay. Yeah. It's a common thing. |

| 1:11.9 | just know to do it. It shouldn't be like this forced march to it. Right. If you want to be a |
| 1:17.0 | therapist, get your button and share and be a client. Why would you not want to? I don't know. Do |
| 1:21.3 | you know what I mean? I don't know. I don't make any sense that you would avoid it. Right. |
| 1:25.1 | Especially when you're in graduate school, there's so much that's unearthed. Yeah. And also, |
| 1:29.3 | you could see how another therapist acts with you. You can feel what it's like to be a client. Right. |
| 1:34.5 | It's just logical to me. But anyway, yeah. So yeah, it's totally normal that therapists in training, |
| 1:44.2 | one will be in therapy intensely and two might use therapy for mentorship and quasi-supervision. |
| 1:51.6 | And there's nothing wrong with that. It's well understood. It doesn't have to be that way. |
| 1:55.6 | And it all just depends on what you want as a client. If you don't want that, then say, |
