So Bob, I feel confident in saying that we can actually finish answering the questions from the survey

0:06.4

we sent out a few months ago because there's not that many left. Actually, as I scroll through it,

0:11.0

there are several left. But I feel like there's a chance that we might be able to get through it.

0:15.2

What do you say Bob? There's a chance. There's always a chance. This is the

0:19.8

Psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirkhan. I'm a therapist and a professor.

0:23.9

And I am your friend Bob from graduate school, therapist and practice here in Seattle.

0:28.0

Okay, so this first question is actually not from the survey. It's from discord. Alex,

0:32.4

18 asked, what is your therapist's superpower? For example, keeping a straight face or completing

feel safe. I know it's kind of a general thing, but I think very, very safe. That's a big deal.

1:15.2

Do you think that's true? Do I make people feel safe? I sure hope so. But do you...

1:21.4

Do you have an above average, a far above average ability to do that?

1:25.3

Oh, I don't know. I've never watched anybody else at work either, so I don't really know.

1:30.3

Carroge is my benchmark, so he makes people feel safe. If I could be just like that or close to

1:36.2

that, that'd be good. I don't know if that's what I would call my super power. My super power is

1:41.2

storytelling. I can induce trance by just telling stories. It's a client. Yeah, yeah.
