And I really like it. I feel better after seeing my therapist. Maybe this is why I got multiple degrees in psychology - because I think the human mind is so interesting. 

These recordings will end August 15th. !! I’ll still have OCD after that point, but the big gainz of therapy will be partially realized by then. And I want to give myself a stop date so I can take a break from recording.
