And I want to see how you're reacting to that.

Interesting.

No, I haven't heard about that.

I'd be interested to learn more.

What I find is if you think about your patient and what your patient needs, generally that guides you pretty well.

So that comes to

when it comes to self-disclosure, talking about something about myself, it's because I have the patient in mind.

I think they can learn something from it.

I shouldn't be filling up that space.

I don't need my patients to take care of me.

And if they ask me certain things, you don't wanna be weird.

So if people are saying, oh, where are you going on vacation?

I might say, well, I'm gonna go here to the East Coast.

I'm just gonna go visit some family.

But I don't wanna give them details about things, because it's not for them to think about.

It's just for me to think about you.

I think you can have a wide range of

consequences to how things are depicted.

And there's a wide range of how they're depicted.

So I think for instance, Silver Linings Playbook is a movie people really love and the depictions of bipolar and mania I've commented on before.
