What happens when you get angry at your therapist? Do you say something? Alex doesn't, because he's afraid of what might happen if he angers or offends his therapist. Dr. Steve says - "hey, lets talk about that." (Classic Dr. Steve.)

Alex provides some updates on his journey with dissociation, including some treatment options he's looked into. That leads to a discussion on trauma and how the body holds onto it. Then Alex teaches Dr. Steve a fun new phrase.

Sometimes how we look and how we act doesn't reflect what's underneath. Dr. Steve shares some history from his past that he still deals with today. Alex does the same. And then, they talk about whether or not Dr. Steve is helping Alex in any way whatsoever. Which, of course he is!

Alex finally gets around to talking about the New Year and why it's a hard time of year for him. Another year gone by and what's there to show for it? Woof. That's heavy. And Dr. Steve is not a big fan.

Alex shares his issues with *awkward silences* and Dr. Steve explains where that anxiety might come from. This leads to a discussion about human intimacy and how people tend to "show up" in relationships with one another. 

Hinge would have loved to sponsor this episode I bet.

Alex has been getting lots of questions lately and so he thought he would answer them. For example - what's it like having your therapy sessions be a podcast? It's a rare Dr. Steve-less episode, so buckle up!

Alex is still working through his experiences with dissociation and Dr. Steve suggests a concept called Ambiguous loss, which leads to an interesting chat about the value of "acceptance."

It's hard to open up on a podcast. All of the time. Alex talks about the pressure of having to find things to "open up about" on the podcast. Dr. Steve asks Alex how he typically opens up to people and that leads to a conversation about risk and how that relates to human intimacy.

Did you know the My Therapist and I podcast is on YouTube? Well, now you do. 

It's hard to have private conversations on a public podcast. Alex and Dr. Steve try to work through how they can replicate therapy without throwing other people in Alex's life "under the bus." That's what you get for trying to turn your therapy sessions into a podcast, Alex!!!!
