Encore - How to Select a Therapist and the Talkspace App

Share

Well, I was up against it again and since there are only 24 hours in a day, I ran out of time. This is an encore presentation (or in my day, a re-run) of episode 64 which talked about finding a therapist.

The good news is that it isn't as harsh as it was originally. I've tweaked the levels so it might be a bit gentler on the ear. Or not because its all a blur of reality man, from phase to phase.
