Chapters:
01:03 — Q1: I keep lying to my therapist about my eating disorder behaviors — am I a failure?
06:51 — Q2: Do therapists notice changes in body language, weight, or clothing — like long sleeves on a warm day?
14:20 — Q3: How do I cope with watching my elderly mother suffer when I can't fix what she's going through?
20:58 — Q4: I've been in a relationship for 20 years but have never been able to have sex — could past uncomfortable experiences be the reason?
32:02 — Q5: Can ego death through psychedelics, deep meditation, or near-death experiences make us more empathetic and self-aware?
38:40 — Q6: What if my eating disorder doesn't feel like a coping mechanism at all?
47:35 — Q7: How much should therapists rely on DASS scores and questionnaires? Mine feels like it replaces real conversation.
54:14 — Q8: My depression is back after two years of feeling okay — but I don't have the courage to go through therapy and medication again.
