So Bob e-mails, let's answer them from the patrons. What do you say? Yeah.

Patron Anna from Hungary says, I've listened to the episode called Therapist Superpowers

and Bob said his superpower is telling stories to his clients. Yeah.

He told an example story about the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Oh yeah. That one.

I liked it a lot. Amitou. I was wondering if you could ask him next time to tell more stories.

I would enjoy it a lot if there would be an episode dedicated to Bob telling a story.

Thank you very much. So Bob, do you have more of these stories in your repertoire

that you can share with the listeners right now? I have one for every occasion kind of thing,

but I can't remember them unless I need them. So and you probably know this story.

This story, when I was younger and was working at that linear hand clinic,

teaching DBT skills, I was teaching radical acceptance and it's a hard thing to do to teach a thing

and not do it. And so at the time, I was still strung out on that person I dated back then.

And what happened to me is I would see her car, her style of car going down the road.

And every time I saw that car, I tell you the story. I must have told you the story.

Well, you told me this portion of the story. Yeah. Was it a white Subaru or something?

No, that's Colleen's car. Well, not anymore. But no, it was a black Honda Civic hatchback.

So I'd see that car and it wasn't like I'd just see that car. Because the thing about it is,

is you know, I still loved her. I was still like pining. And this is six years after a very short

relationship, which is normal. Yeah, to some degree, except you know, I was dating that whole time.

I was with somebody for an entire year. But it's also normal. It sucks for sure. But I just

want to point out that it's a very common occurrence to have a short relationship that was very

intense. Very intense. That takes a long time to recover from after it is.
