The Bert Show. I don't know if this is common if you're doing therapy or not. Let me ask you

guys because I think everybody in here has been in therapy at one point or another. When you're

doing therapy, are there times where you realize after you've been doing it for a while that

you catch yourself and go, oh, oh, the therapy is working. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

The tools I've been given, like, it's how I handle situations.

There are certain situations that would have just beat me down.

Yeah.

But I now have the tools to handle them with a lot more grace.

And do you remember, is it like, because for me, they hit me like a hammer. Like, I go, I go, I go, and then something happens. And I don't even give myself credit for it at that time. But then I look back at it, I'm like, oh, that's kind of a different me. I kind of realize it when I'm in it. You do? Mm-hmm. How about you? For me, the helpful part about therapy is getting it all out,

was the trauma dumping, essentially. And then I just haven't had a great streak with therapists yet, so I get annoyed. But then it makes me feel smart because I'm annoyed at them because they give me stupid suggestions. So it's a win. Is it weird if I suggest a therapist for you that I'm seeing?

Is that like a conflict of interest, even though we don't talk about you? No. Because the new one I have is great. Kristen offered as well, which was really kind. And I need to get back on that. It's taking a back seat. But I do think there are therapists who give great tools, and that's something I need to get back into. but I also do think there's a lot of power.

And like, you know how even if you sit down with a best friend and you just dump all your

problems out there and you kind of feel lighter it's like that's cool but as a friend that gets tiring

so you pay someone then to listen to all your problems and it helps and I think even talking it out

sometimes gives you is a tool in

itself because it helps you reanalyze the situation and look at it from different angles.

You haven't done a ton of therapy, right? No, I mean, I did a lot of therapy growing up. I haven't done it

recently because therapy is expensive and I like to think that Chachibit is the cheaper alternative.

But for me, what was so good about therapy in my adult years when I was going is it's incredibly

validating to talk about your experiences, especially if you're the type of person that was

kind of raised to always feel like you're always in the wrong.
