But in terms of the success of the show, we've all been like very happily surprised.

It was a big experiment launching this show, like both an experiment in terms of whether it's going to work at all in terms of therapy, whether people are going to feel comfortable enough to really go through the process of therapy, knowing that they're being recorded.

but then how the world is going to see it and accept it.

And it was like a big surprise early on how much love and gratitude we got.

Now we're almost a decade in, so I'm kind of spoiled.

I'm used to it, but we do.

We get a lot of love and gratitude from all over the world.

It's pretty awesome.

I mean, especially nowadays when it's like, you know, it's hard to be doing something good in this world.

It's a good feeling.

No, no, no.

It was Josh and Elise's idea.

Josh Kriegman and Elise Steinberg, the directors and the EPs.

They've been cooking this idea for a while.

And they reached out to me.

I'm an academic.

I teach at my...

psychoanalytic institute and they found me through my institute and reached out to me there.

And I mean, first it seemed kind of like way out there and like, I don't know, but they, I just really hit it off with them.

They're just such great people.
