    Bonus Episode: I Took My Younger Self For Coffee

    Live and in living color! I'm still trying to learn Spotify and Riverside, so forgive the amateurish quality of my first vlog. A little over a month ago on my blog, I wrote an article called "I Took My Younger Self For Coffee."

As a shrink, I wanted to take that idea and expand on it, having a simulated conversation between the two mes [read: me in plural form]. I was surprised how approaching this organically got as deep and emotional as it did without prompting. I knew I was writing for the public, and had to stop myself–not because I was uncomfortable sharing, but because I didn't want what happened after I "came to" to feel contrived or inauthentic. Have a listen to my experience with the coffee date exercise, and then try having your own.
