Dr. Steve wants to make sure Alex isn't "forcing" his feelings for the sake of this podcast. Alex has been beating himself up a lot lately and it's something he struggles to keep at bay. Also, did one of Alex's therapists quit on him?

Alex is now a husband! He's riding solo for this episode. He's got a lot on his plate and the majority of that is self-inflicted. He talks through his feelings of guilt before being joined by a VERY special guest!!

Alex is very curious about something Dr. Steve mentioned - the "standard deviations" of therapy. Basically, who gets to decide what is "normal" or "abnormal" in therapy? How does that affect patients like Alex? They then go back to some wedding talk, as well as some learnings from Alex's EMDR.

(sorry about the glitch, we fixed it!) Alex is about to get married to his lovely fiancée Haley, but some sad things are happening along the way. Relationships are blossoming and some are dying. Literally. Who's a friend and who's not? And how do we handle the death of someone we didn't necessarily get along with? These questions and more.

Alex is flying solo this episode - why? Because he's made a startling revelation. He's been seeing FOUR different therapists lately. Is that too much? He reflects on what it's taught him about Therapy.

Alex is thinking about his future and thinking about the future of this podcast. Dr. Steve suggests a very interesting theory - a therapy hiatus. This is a new concept to Alex, but one that very well might catch on...

As long as there have been humans there have been sons who need to hash things out with their dad. Alex is no different, and Dr. Steve thinks Alex might be stalling instead of getting on with it. Easy for you to say, Dr. Steve!!!
