| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirvin listeners. I thought I would answer some of your emails that you email via the website. |
| 0:06.6 | And this first email is from anonymous listener. She says, I am an intern trying to find my own |
| 0:12.6 | therapeutic approach. I have been trying to model my therapeutic approach after yours. |
