What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You can get one of these if you move too much.
Okay, this is a one and done situation.
Oh, no, you'll be back.
If you're good, we'll put you on payroll.
Well, you got to put your headset on before we go there. To infinity and beyond.
Do we have to explain what we're doing?
I think so. But we don't know what we're doing. The Starship Enterprise is always going to places they say that no one's been before. So that's what we're doing today. We're doing it today. We're fixing to go. Should I get the background? I'm going to have a counseling session.
Cy, the other day, I'll just do the backdrop real quick. Before I introduce our guest, we're at Cy's house. It was me, Phillip McMillan, licensed counselor, and Cy was like, we need a counselor to come on and just talk about stuff. And maybe Cy has a few questions. No, no. And I was kind of like, well, Phillip's been doing that for 30 years. He's like, not Phillip. And immediately in my brain, I was like, well, there's Scars Mom.
Oh, my gosh. I am Scar's mom.
Remember Zazu Carter? Mm-hmm. Oh, I was like. She raised Scar. My son was Scar.
Okay.
And I've known Emily for a while, and she's hilarious to me, even though she's not trying to be. And so I was like, I texted her. I said, Emily, Cy needs a counselor. Are you in? And her immediate answer was no. immediate answer that was absolutely not wait a minute but i i talked her into it well so we have dr emily jones phd lmft-s comma lpc-s that's right so what forget all that junk what do you actually do for a living uh so i'm a counselor by trade uh but hi you're a psychiatrist in other words
No, that's actually illegal for me to say that. So no, just a counselor, no medicine.
Well, you got a PhD.
I do, but not, I'm a doctor, but not the kind that makes good money. Ah, that sucks. Yeah, it does.
But she's one of the smartest people I know, Si.
So I work at a nonprofit locally and I'm a clinical director there. I teach online for a master's program in counseling. And then I do a little bit of private practice for myself.
Oh, wow.
I told y'all I had an expert in the world. Lots of branches. I like that. Yeah, that's cool. She even has a website. Diversifying Income. I like that. We can talk about that, too.
It's the only place I can find you.
Well, my question is, do you have a battery of tests or questions that you ask a patient?
We do, yeah.
Well, good. Let's run through that. I think we can do that. What do you mean we can't do that? We can. I don't know. She's a nice daughter. So am I. We can do this.
I'm here today as a friend of the podcast that's counselor adjacent. I'm not here to be your counselor today. I didn't bring my instruments with me.
You have instruments? Oh.
You know the test.
Oh, you have tools of the trade.
Tools of the trade. I didn't bring any of that with me today.
I was hoping she had like a brain scan.
I don't have one of those.
An EEG to put on him while we're doing this. That would have been awesome. No, no, that would have been. Yeah. What? Like some weird interrogation. It may have been a flat line. It may have been a flat line. Yeah.
Yours is definitely moving all over the place. Yeah.
I bet that we got to get the next one after Emily. I just had an idea.
How does trauma affect parenting and relationships?
We've got to have Cy take a polygraph.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Because I'd like to see those things jump all up and down on him.
Do you have any patients that went to Nam? No. My dad was in Vietnam, though. He was a Marine and had pretty severe mental health issues afterward.
Oh, no.
Yeah. And also drank a lot to self-medicate.
Well, no, no, because most people say, well, was you in any heavy action? And I said, no. I said, but you don't understand.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
That doesn't matter. Mm-hmm. And I had a guy that won the Medal of Honor.
Mm-hmm.
For his action in Vietnam. And he said, here, hold it. And I said, no, that's yours. And he said, no. He said, you served, right? And I said, yeah. I said, but that belongs to you for what you did. And he said, no, it doesn't. Part of it belongs to you because you served. Well, he screwed my head up when he done that.
