Happy to have discovered this podcast, and was certainly affected by Jasper's very relatable and vulnerable case. This session was enriched by insightful, interesting commentary and including practical advice. The only thing I'd improve is the editing, as I probably wouldn't always have this much time. The conversation between the hosts, also about the therapist's side etc and hearing about them as people adds an extra dimension
