In this episode, Tyson talks with Dr. Dave McNew, psychological resident at Relational Psych, about what sorts of things someone can expect from a first session with a new therapist. They also talk about common concerns that new clients have about therapy, and why it might be worth giving therapy multiple tries if your first therapist isn’t a great fit.
**Disclaimer: Content Warning
Tyson and Dave have a discussion about suicidal thoughts and conversations about suicide that someone might have with their therapist. That discussion starts around 15 minutes into this episode and ends around 19 minutes into this episode.
That is the section to skip if that's not something you would like to be exposed to during this episode!
*Correction: Clarification
Dr. McNew is not yet a Clinical Psychologist. He is a Psychological Resident - which means he is in the process of becoming a Psychologist.
