In this episode, Derek is joined by his friend and former colleague, Beccy. Beccy shares some of her story growing up on a farm in the 80s and 90s, and how she dreamed of being a mother and supporter of her children, along with offering a safe place to the friends of her children. Additionally, she opens up about part of her journey that led her to a career path similar to Derek's own, but much sooner in her life.

She and Derek offer similar approaches to therapy in an effort to, ultimately, see their clients successful and confident in their own self-sufficiency to live healthier lives after therapy than before, regardless of the previous chapters written so far.

If you live in New York or Pennsylvania, or know someone who does, and might be interested in learning more about working with me in the context of mental health therapy, check out my profile on PsychologyToday.com or at the Sage in Time website. Unfortunately, I am not able to accept any Managed Medicare or Medicaid, regardless of the branding.

I am a sex-positive mental health counselor who specializes in griefwork and working within the space of non-traditional lifestyles, offering services to individuals, couples, families, other systems of multiple individuals.

A special thank you to Melissa Reagan for providing the voice talent over the episode theme music.
