Decisions are hard. And sometimes we are so torn by the best course of action. The good things and the bad things are all rolled into one. So what do you do? Well, you ask the three questions. Listen in and I'll explain. 

Cheating is bad, real bad! And the damage it causes seems insurmountable. Or is it? Lets talk about it, because there's a lot to be looked at in how to recover from cheating. And spotting when one is just trying to cool the heat they cast on themselves. 

Story Time for this episode:

3:22 - Getting Friendly

14:30 - The Danger of a Boys' Trip

Break ups are hard and often, not friendly. Sometimes things are left behind, you want them back, and they don't want to give it back. When those items are of a personal or intimate nature, what do you do? So let's talk about it, because this happens a lot more than you think. 

3:20 - The "Tape" 

6:22 - Another "Tape", but its worse.

8:30 - BONUS - Dogs in mediation. 

The LBQT community has plenty of hurdles to deal with, and one of the hardest is telling those they love about who they are. And the question continues to come up; should they? So let's look into it a little, and see what you do with such a sensitive experience. 

Story Time: 

3:35 - The Nightmare Scenario

6:02 - "Turns Out They Knew"

Sometimes, the way people act is reminiscent of a mental health condition. But what happens when people act of a certain way, and there's nothing wrong? Can you spot the difference? This episode dives into differentiating the two, and shows examples of when an illness is clearly present and driving the issue, and when you're dealing with a jerk. 

Story Time features two tales today:

- The "Director" (4:18)

- The Ticking Time Bomb (15:59)

It seems a lot of folks will use therapy as a last resort when trouble arises. And it tends not to work. So.....is therapy futile, a matter of timing ,or something else? 

Today's Storytime: 

3:15 - Fix The Serial Cheater

5:45 - The Weed Entrepreneur

Bonus episode time! No stats, no moral or discussion, just stories of what not to do. These streams of thought sometimes come to mind, and I figured, "hey, may as well record and share it."

At 2:19, "Karen Needs Yelp"

At 10:45, "Interview with a Therapist"

Show Note - Sorry for the background noise. Had to use a backup mic. 

So, it turns out there's a difference between studying and cramming. One is to soak knowledge. The other, to get by an obstacle. Let's get into which one will work better for you, and find the answer to the age old question - Are you a Bart, or are you a Lisa? 

Sometimes, its hard to say goodbye. But in therapy, its actually a good thing. But folks dont now when to stop, or if they should. So, let's talk about it. See if we can clear things up a bit. 

So it turns out, therapists are people too! And in being people, that means they have people problems. So, what happens if those issues ooze into your own therapy? Should you ignore it, work with it, or run straight out the door? 

Today's episode will begin the story time segment , which begins at 4:43 ("Knives Out") and then continues at 8:41 ("Professor X")
