Memorable Quotes:

"I think there's a lot of value into aspiring to be at least one degree more self-aware than the most self-aware person that comes to see me—because if not, then how can I hope to help them or understand them or guide them." [00:30:18]– Joe Nucci

"I think a good therapist, I actually think, has earned a lot of sex appeal because they're able to accept you and be compassionate and be attracted to you even in all of your flaws and filth." [00:40:31] – Joe Nucci
