    This is the most listened-to Psych with Mike that Brett and I did. The episode is all about Transactional Analysis. When reviewing the numbers it was not even close. Enjoy!

    The Psychology of Saying Goodbye

    The Psychology of Saying Goodbye

    It is often very difficult to say goodbye. Whether the result of life passing, ending a relationship, or, moving far away, there is a period of our lives that are ending. On the other hand, there is a new period of life that is beginning. As for my friend, Brett Newcomb, I will forever be grateful for the contributions he made to the show and for being my friend!

The conversations between Mike and Brett are extremely engaging and enlightening. As someone considering entering the field of mental health I’ve found the topics covered timely and informative.

Love it!

This is a great podcast- lots of helpful insights, tips, and ways of looking at and interpreting things. Unlike so many mental health podcasts I hear, this one seems based on lots of education and experience. Thanks very much.
