Alex continues to feel angry, especially when he plays hockey. It brings up a larger question - do we need to feel ashamed of our anger? Dr. Steve explains that, well, that's complicated. 

 This episode SHOULD be clean but if we missed any naughty words we apologize. 

Alex talks to Dr. Steve about his family of the past and it leads to a discussion about his family of the future.

You ever wonder if people think you're a bit of a jerk? Alex does. All of the time. He struggles with his ability to connect with others and he and Dr. Steve unpack that. 

But who knows maybe Alex is just kind of a jerk. 

In this episode of "My Therapist and I" Alex recounts his historical relationship with alcohol and shares some things from his past that he doesn't normally tell people (or the internet.)

Alex recently went on a trip that stirred up some questions about his ability to form friendships. This leads to a candid discussion with Dr. Steve on Alex's relationship with alcohol. Probably more to unpack there.

Alex follows up on his "Google Maps" assignment and outlines what is important in his life. This leads to an honest question from Dr. Steve and the two discuss what therapy is normally like and the limitations of this format. This is...probably going to be an ongoing discussion.

You ever feel like you're lost? Alex does. Figuratively, and literally. Dr. Steve offers some profound thoughts on finding the right directions.

Also, Apple Maps sucks. 

Alex meets Dr. Steve (Steve) for the first time...on a podcast...broadcasting his own therapy sessions. So yeah, it's a little awkward. They feel each other out for a bit too long, and then dive into what brings Alex to therapy.
