The common advice when you are searching for a therapist is “try two or three” to fine one that fits. I had a short list of the attributes I wanted in someone to whom I would eventually reveal all of life's darkest moments, but to my surprise, I got someone I that wouldn’t have made the list. In the episode, my therapist Kelly and I discuss the early days of forming our relationship, the treatments I underwent, and how we show up for each other across many lines of connection and difference.
