Talk to us about, so you, you start going to see this counselor and yeah, you're, she, now you've got a guide and how does it kind of start pulling you out? Like, are you just able to spot it? What tools is she giving you to, to kind of combat that?

Brooke LedbetterGUEST
At first, I think it was just having a place even to just say everything without the pressure of needing my friends to carry that burden for me.

Brooke LedbetterGUEST
There is something that you can unburden yourself with a counselor with a little less responsibility feeling of, well, now I'm trauma dumping on them and they're going to carry it because they love me.

Brooke LedbetterGUEST
Whereas a counselor, your trust is trained to do that and is a place where they... know what to do with everything you're giving them.

Brooke LedbetterGUEST
So it was a safe place to just be as chaotically messy as I needed to be at the time.
