Episode notes

Don't worry a whole lot about the credentials, something obviously that should be licensed. Find out how do they conceptualize these problems and if they see them as just like diabedes and cancer, i'd run. You're looking more for someone who has more of a humanistic outlook on these things. If you get a sense that the person isn't listening, doesn't respect you, doesn't take you seriously, fire them, get somebody else. It's oky to fire your therapist. O work is not eother way round.
