All right, back to the show.

As a member of Gen X, you not only are dictating a long text message to your daughter, you're making sure it's grammatically correct and it has all the right punctuation.

I am.

Me too.

Yeah, totally.

I keep asking myself, I'm like, I know this doesn't matter, and yet I can't stop doing it.

We've talked about oxytocin, and I think many people have probably heard of oxytocin as sort of the bonding chemical.

You brought up a chemical that I haven't heard about in years.

I remember hearing about it and being fascinated by it.

It's a brain chemical, vasopressin.

I've often said that depression hates a moving target, but there's a cruel irony in there because moving is one of the hardest things to do with depression.

And similarly, when we most need a therapist, it is often when we have the least ability to sort through the complex mess of finding one, which is why I'm such a big fan of what Alma is doing.

They've made the search part simple because that's often the thing standing between us and getting help.

Alma has a directory of over 26,000 therapists, and you can filter by things that actually matter to you, like specialty, identity, life experience, therapeutic approach.

And critically, you can put in what insurance you have, and it will show you therapists who take that insurance.

Over 1 million people have found care with Alma and 95% connect with a therapist within a week.

If you've been thinking about starting therapy or getting back to it, I'd recommend checking out Alma.
