## Transcript

**[0:00] Speaker A:** English Academy Plus podcast.

**[0:02] Speaker B:** Your daily dose of simple English.

**[0:05] Speaker A:** Hey, hey, hey, welcome back everyone.

**[0:07] Speaker B:** Hello, hello. We are so happy you're here today.

**[0:10] Speaker A:** Okay, Alice, I have a question for you. Are you ready?

**[0:12] Speaker B:** I am ready. Ask me.

**[0:14] Speaker A:** Why do people do the things they do?

**[0:16] Speaker B:** Oh, wow. That is a big question, David.

**[0:19] Speaker A:** It is a very big question. And today, we are going to answer it.

**[0:23] Speaker B:** Yes, today we are talking about psychology.

**[0:26] Speaker A:** Psychology. Say it with us. Psy-cho-lo-gy.

**[0:32] Speaker B:** This is one of my favorite topics ever.

**[0:34] Speaker A:** Mine, too. And we are going to teach you all the important psychology vocabulary you need.

**[0:39] Speaker B:** In real life with real examples.

**[0:41] Speaker A:** So, if you have ever wanted to understand why you feel nervous, why you get angry, why you sometimes forget things,

**[0:47] Speaker B:** or why you keep doing the same bad habits again and again,

**[0:50] Speaker A:** this video is for you.

**[0:52] Speaker B:** Stay with us. This is going to be so interesting.

**[0:55] Speaker A:** Let's go. Okay, Alice, let's start from the beginning. What is psychology?

**[1:01] Speaker B:** Good question. Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior.

**[1:06] Speaker A:** The study of the mind and behavior. Let's say that again slowly. The study of the mind and behavior.

**[1:13] Speaker B:** The mind means what you think and feel inside your head.

**[1:16] Speaker A:** And behavior means what you do, your actions.

**[1:19] Speaker B:** So, psychology tries to understand why do people think the way they think? Why do people act the way they act?

**[1:26] Speaker A:** I love that. So, for example, why do I eat chocolate when I am sad?

**[1:32] Speaker B:** That is a psychology question, David.

**[1:33] Speaker A:** It is a very important question, Alice.

**[1:36] Speaker B:** Psychology helps us understand things like emotions, memory, relationships, and mental health.

**[1:42] Speaker A:** Let's talk about that word, emotions. Emotions are your feelings.

**[1:46] Speaker B:** Happy, sad, angry, scared, excited. These are all emotions.

**[1:52] Speaker A:** Emotions. Say it with me. E-mo-tions. Emotions.

**[1:57] Speaker B:** And mental health. This is also very important. Mental health means how healthy your mind is.

**[2:03] Speaker A:** Mental health. Men-tal health. Mental health.

**[2:08] Speaker B:** If your mental health is good, you feel okay inside. You feel balanced.

**[2:12] Speaker A:** And if your mental health is not good, you might feel very sad, very anxious, or very stressed for a long time.

**[2:19] Speaker B:** Exactly. And that is okay to talk about. Psychology helps us understand and improve our mental health.

**[2:25] Speaker A:** Great start. So, we have our first words: psychology, mind, behavior, emotions, mental health.

**[2:33] Speaker B:** Write those down, everyone.

**[2:35] Speaker A:** Okay, let's go deeper. Alice, have you ever done something and then asked yourself, "Why did I do that?"

**[2:42] Speaker B:** Oh, yes, all the time.

**[2:43] Speaker A:** Me, too. And psychology has an answer. It is about the conscious and unconscious mind.

**[2:49] Speaker B:** Ooh, this is fascinating.

**[2:52] Speaker A:** Let's start with conscious. Conscious means things you are aware of, things you know.

**[2:56] Speaker B:** So, right now, you are consciously listening to us. You know you are listening. You chose to press play.

**[3:02] Speaker A:** You are aware of it. That is conscious.

**[3:04] Speaker B:** Conscious. Con-scious. Conscious.

**[3:07] Speaker A:** Now, the unconscious mind. This is the part of your mind you cannot see, things you do not know about yourself.

**[3:14] Speaker B:** Like hidden feelings, hidden memories, hidden desires.

**[3:18] Speaker A:** For example, sometimes you meet a person and you immediately do not like them, but you do not know why.

**[3:24] Speaker B:** That feeling might come from your unconscious mind.

**[3:26] Speaker A:** Maybe that person reminds you of someone who hurt you a long time ago, but you forgot about it consciously.

**[3:32] Speaker B:** But your unconscious mind remembers.

**[3:34] Speaker A:** Exactly. Your unconscious mind remembers everything.

**[3:37] Speaker B:** That is a little scary, David.

**[3:39] Speaker A:** It is a little scary, but it is also very interesting.

**[3:42] Speaker B:** The unconscious mind controls many of our feelings and behaviors without us knowing.

**[3:47] Speaker A:** So, conscious means you know it. Unconscious means you don't know it, but it still affects you.

**[3:52] Speaker B:** Let's say those words again. Conscious, unconscious, conscious, unconscious.

**[3:58] Speaker A:** Great. Now, let's talk about another famous idea in psychology. Alice, have you ever heard someone say that person has a big ego?

**[4:07] Speaker B:** Yes, usually talking about someone very arrogant.

**[4:11] Speaker A:** Right, but in psychology, ego means something a little different.

**[4:15] Speaker B:** Tell us, David.

**[4:16] Speaker A:** The ego is the part of your mind that deals with your sense of self, who you think you are.

**[4:21] Speaker B:** Your identity, your idea of yourself.

**[4:24] Speaker A:** Ego, E G O, ego.

**[4:27] Speaker B:** A healthy ego means you have a good, realistic idea of who you are.

**[4:31] Speaker A:** And a very big ego means you think you are better than everyone.

**[4:34] Speaker B:** And a very small ego means you think you are worse than everyone.

**[4:38] Speaker A:** Neither one is good. Balance is the key.

**[4:40] Speaker B:** Now, connected to the ego is self-esteem.

**[4:43] Speaker A:** Self-esteem, this is so important. Self-esteem means how much you value yourself.

**[4:49] Speaker B:** How much you like and respect yourself.

**[4:51] Speaker A:** Self-esteem, S E L F E S T E E M, self-esteem.

**[4:56] Speaker B:** If you have high self-esteem, you feel good about yourself. You believe in yourself.

**[5:00] Speaker A:** If you have low self-esteem, you think bad things about yourself. You don't believe in yourself.

**[5:05] Speaker B:** I think many people struggle with self-esteem.

**[5:07] Speaker A:** Many, many people, and it is connected to confidence.

**[5:11] Speaker B:** Confidence, I love this word. Confidence means believing you can do something.

**[5:16] Speaker A:** It's not about being perfect, it's about believing in yourself even when things are hard.

**[5:20] Speaker B:** Confidence, confidence.

**[5:23] Speaker A:** So, here is a question for you, listener. Do you have high or low self-esteem today?

**[5:28] Speaker B:** Think about it. No judgement here. We are all learning.

**[5:31] Speaker A:** And psychology says self-esteem can change. You can improve it.

**[5:35] Speaker B:** Yes, with awareness and practice, you can build your self-esteem.

**[5:39] Speaker A:** Love that.

**[5:40] Speaker A:** Okay, our words so far, ego, self-esteem, confidence. Okay, Alice, let's talk about something everyone feels.

**[5:49] Speaker B:** What is that?

**[5:50] Speaker A:** Stress.

**[5:51] Speaker B:** Oh, yes, I feel stressed just thinking about it.

**[5:54] Speaker A:** Haha, that is very relatable. Stress is a feeling of pressure when you have too much to do or when something is difficult or dangerous.

**[6:03] Speaker B:** Like before an important exam or a job interview, or a difficult conversation.

**[6:08] Speaker A:** Stress, stress.

**[6:10] Speaker B:** A little stress can actually be good. It can help you focus.

**[6:13] Speaker A:** Really?

**[6:13] Speaker B:** Yes. A little stress pushes you to work hard, but too much stress is bad for your health.

**[6:19] Speaker A:** Too much stress for too long becomes a problem.

**[6:21] Speaker B:** And that can lead to anxiety.

**[6:23] Speaker A:** Anxiety. This is different from stress. Anxiety is a feeling of worry and fear that doesn't go away easily.

**[6:30] Speaker B:** With stress, usually there is a clear reason. You have a big test, so you feel stressed. The test ends, and the stress goes away.

**[6:37] Speaker A:** But with anxiety, the worried feeling stays, even when there is no clear reason.

**[6:42] Speaker B:** Anxiety, anxiety.

**[6:44] Speaker A:** For example, you wake up in the morning and you feel nervous, but nothing bad is happening. You just feel nervous.

**[6:51] Speaker B:** That could be anxiety.

**[6:52] Speaker A:** It is very common. Many people experience anxiety.

**[6:56] Speaker B:** And it is important to talk about it and get help if you need it.

**[6:59] Speaker A:** Absolutely. Now, there is one more word in this area, burnout.

**[7:03] Speaker B:** Burnout. Oh, this word is very popular now.

**[7:06] Speaker A:** Burnout is when you work so hard for so long that you feel completely empty.

**[7:11] Speaker B:** You have no energy, no motivation. You feel like a phone with zero battery.

**[7:17] Speaker A:** Zero battery. That is a perfect description.

**[7:19] Speaker B:** Burnout. Burnout.

**[7:22] Speaker A:** Burnout happens when you don't rest enough, when you push yourself too much for too long.

**[7:26] Speaker B:** It is very common in students, teachers, doctors, and anyone who works very hard.

**[7:31] Speaker A:** The solution? Rest. Take breaks. Take care of yourself.

**[7:35] Speaker B:** Self-care is very important for mental health.

**[7:38] Speaker A:** Self-care. This means doing things that help your mind and body feel good.

**[7:43] Speaker B:** Like sleeping well, eating healthy, spending time with people you love, relaxing.

**[7:48] Speaker A:** So, our words stress, anxiety, burnout, self-care. Alice, are you an introvert or an extrovert?

**[7:56] Speaker B:** Hmm, good question. I think I am an extrovert.

**[8:00] Speaker A:** Really? Tell us why.

**[8:01] Speaker B:** Because I love talking to people. I get energy from being around people. Like right now, I feel great.

**[8:07] Speaker A:** Aha. And I think I am more of an introvert.

**[8:10] Speaker B:** Really? But you talk so much.

**[8:12] Speaker A:** I know, but after this, I need to go home and be quiet for a while to recharge.

**[8:16] Speaker B:** That is a great example, actually.

**[8:18] Speaker A:** Okay, so let's explain this. Introvert and extrovert are personality types.

**[8:22] Speaker B:** Personality means the way you normally think, feel, and behave. It is who you are.

**[8:27] Speaker A:** Personality. Personality.

**[8:31] Speaker B:** An introvert is a person who gets energy from being alone or in quiet places.

**[8:35] Speaker A:** Introverts like small groups. They like thinking before they speak.

**[8:38] Speaker B:** They can be social, but being around lots of people tires them out.

**[8:42] Speaker A:** Introvert. Introvert.

**[8:45] Speaker B:** An extrovert is a person who gets energy from being around other people.

**[8:48] Speaker A:** Extroverts love talking, socializing, meeting new people.

**[8:51] Speaker B:** Being alone for too long makes them feel tired or bored.

**[8:54] Speaker A:** Extrovert. Extrovert.

**[8:56] Speaker B:** And there is also ambivert.

**[8:58] Speaker A:** Oh, yes. Ambivert is someone who is both, sometimes introvert, sometimes extrovert, depending on the situation.

**[9:04] Speaker B:** Ambivert. Ambivert.

**[9:06] Speaker A:** I think many people are ambiverts, actually.

**[9:08] Speaker B:** Me, too. Okay, listeners, are you an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? Think about it.

**[9:14] Speaker A:** Now, let's talk about personality in a bigger way. Psychologists say personality has different traits.

**[9:19] Speaker B:** Traits means characteristics, features of your personality.

**[9:23] Speaker A:** For example, some people are very open. They love new experiences, new ideas, meeting new people.

**[9:29] Speaker B:** That trait is called openness.

**[9:30] Speaker A:** Openness. Openness.

**[9:33] Speaker B:** Some people are very organized, careful, and responsible.

**[9:36] Speaker A:** That trait is called conscientiousness.

**[9:38] Speaker B:** Conscientiousness. Conscientiousness. Wow, that is a long word.

**[9:44] Speaker A:** It is a very long word. Let's say it slowly together. Conscientiousness.

**[9:49] Speaker B:** It basically means you are a very responsible, careful, organized person.

**[9:53] Speaker A:** So, personality, introvert, extrovert, ambivert, openness, conscientiousness.

**[9:59] Speaker B:** Amazing words. Keep listening. It gets even more interesting.

**[10:03] Speaker A:** Alice, can you name some emotions quickly?

**[10:05] Speaker B:** Sure. Happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised, disgusted.

**[10:10] Speaker A:** Good. Those are actually the six basic emotions that psychologists talk about.

**[10:14] Speaker B:** Really? Only six basic ones?

**[10:17] Speaker A:** According to psychologist Paul Ekman, yes. Those are the six universal emotions. Every human in every culture feels them.

**[10:25] Speaker B:** Wow, that is amazing. We are all connected by these six emotions.

**[10:29] Speaker A:** We are. But of course, there are many more emotions, too. Like jealousy, guilt, shame, pride, love, loneliness.

**[10:37] Speaker B:** Oh, loneliness. That is a very important one.

**[10:41] Speaker A:** Loneliness is the feeling of being alone and disconnected from others.

**[10:45] Speaker B:** Loneliness. Loneliness.

**[10:48] Speaker A:** Even people who are surrounded by others can feel lonely sometimes.

**[10:51] Speaker B:** That is so true. You can be in a room full of people and still feel lonely.

**[10:56] Speaker A:** Psychology says loneliness can actually hurt your health, like physical pain.

**[11:00] Speaker B:** Wow, that is very serious.

**[11:02] Speaker A:** It is. That's why connection is so important.

**[11:06] Speaker B:** Now, let's talk about something really useful, emotional intelligence.

**[11:10] Speaker A:** Yes, this is one of my favorite psychology concepts.

**[11:13] Speaker B:** Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to understand and manage your emotions.

**[11:19] Speaker A:** And also to understand other people's emotions.

**[11:21] Speaker B:** Emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence.

**[11:25] Speaker A:** Someone with high emotional intelligence can say, "I am feeling angry right now. Let me take a breath before I speak."

**[11:31] Speaker B:** They do not just react. They pause. They think. Then they respond.

**[11:36] Speaker A:** That is very powerful.

**[11:37] Speaker B:** Someone with low emotional intelligence might just explode when they are angry.

**[11:41] Speaker A:** Ha. We have all met that person.

**[11:43] Speaker B:** Or maybe we have been that person.

**[11:45] Speaker A:** No comment.

**[11:47] Speaker B:** Emotional intelligence includes empathy. Empathy is the ability to feel and understand what another person is feeling.

**[11:54] Speaker A:** Empathy. Empathy.

**[11:56] Speaker B:** If your friend is sad and you can feel their sadness in your heart, that is empathy.

**[12:00] Speaker A:** Empathy is so important for relationships.

**[12:03] Speaker B:** Empathy is also different from sympathy. Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone. Empathy is feeling with them.

**[12:09] Speaker A:** Great point. Sympathy. I am sorry that happened to you. Empathy: I can really feel how hard that must be for you.

**[12:17] Speaker B:** Beautiful difference.

**[12:18] Speaker A:** So, emotions, loneliness, emotional intelligence, empathy, sympathy.

**[12:24] Speaker A:** Okay, Alice. This next part is very, very interesting.

**[12:28] Speaker B:** I can already tell from your face. What is it?

**[12:30] Speaker A:** Defense mechanisms.

**[12:31] Speaker B:** Ooh, explain.

**[12:33] Speaker A:** Defense mechanisms are things our mind does automatically to protect us from painful feelings.

**[12:38] Speaker B:** Automatically? So, we do them without thinking?

**[12:41] Speaker A:** Exactly, without thinking. Our unconscious mind is protecting us.

**[12:45] Speaker B:** Interesting. Give me an example.

**[12:47] Speaker A:** Okay. Have you ever done something wrong and then made excuses for why it was not your fault?

**[12:52] Speaker B:** Maybe once or twice.

**[12:54] Speaker A:** That is called rationalization. Rationalization means making up logical-sounding reasons for your behavior.

**[13:00] Speaker B:** Like, I ate the whole cake because I needed energy.

**[13:04] Speaker A:** Perfect example. You are rationalizing.

**[13:06] Speaker B:** Rationalization. Rationalization.

**[13:10] Speaker A:** Another defense mechanism is denial.

**[13:12] Speaker B:** Denial. I know this word.

**[13:14] Speaker A:** Denial means refusing to accept that something is true.

**[13:17] Speaker B:** Like someone who smokes cigarettes and says, "It won't hurt me. I am fine."

**[13:21] Speaker A:** Yes, they are denying the reality.

**[13:23] Speaker B:** Denial. Denial.

**[13:25] Speaker A:** Another one is projection.

**[13:27] Speaker B:** Projection?

**[13:27] Speaker A:** Projection is when you take a feeling you have and you put it onto someone else.

**[13:32] Speaker B:** Hm, can you explain more?

**[13:33] Speaker A:** Okay. Imagine someone is very angry, but they don't want to admit they are angry. So, they say, "Why are you so angry with me?"

**[13:40] Speaker B:** Oh, they are putting their anger onto the other person.

**[13:44] Speaker A:** Exactly. They projected their feeling onto someone else.

**[13:48] Speaker B:** Projection. Projection. Wow, that is sneaky.

**[13:51] Speaker A:** The mind is very sneaky sometimes.

**[13:54] Speaker B:** And one more defense mechanism, repression.

**[13:56] Speaker A:** Repression is when you push a painful memory or feeling deep into your unconscious mind, so you forget about it.

**[14:02] Speaker B:** Like blocking a bad memory?

**[14:04] Speaker A:** Yes, your mind says, "This hurts too much. I will hide it."

**[14:08] Speaker B:** Repression. Repression.

**[14:10] Speaker A:** But repression doesn't make the feeling go away. It is still there, just hidden.

**[14:14] Speaker B:** That is why talking to a therapist can help to bring those hidden feelings out safely.

**[14:19] Speaker A:** Great point. So, defense mechanisms, rationalization, denial, projection, repression.

**[14:25] Speaker B:** These are so useful to know in real life.

**[14:28] Speaker A:** Okay, everyone, let's talk about why we do things. Motivation.

**[14:33] Speaker B:** Motivation is one of the most important words in psychology.

**[14:37] Speaker A:** Motivation.

**[14:39] Speaker B:** Motivation.

**[14:40] Speaker A:** Motivation is the reason why you do something.

**[14:42] Speaker B:** The force that pushes you to take action.

**[14:45] Speaker A:** For example, you study English because you want to travel. The desire to travel is your motivation.

**[14:51] Speaker B:** Or you go to the gym because you want to feel healthy. That is your motivation.

**[14:55] Speaker A:** There are two types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic.

**[14:59] Speaker B:** Oh, these are important.

**[15:01] Speaker A:** Intrinsic motivation is when you do something because you love it, because it makes you happy inside.

**[15:06] Speaker B:** Intrinsic. Intrinsic.

**[15:08] Speaker A:** Like a person who paints pictures not to sell them, but just because they love painting.

**[15:13] Speaker B:** That is intrinsic motivation. The reward comes from inside.

**[15:16] Speaker A:** Extrinsic motivation is when you do something because of an outside reward.

**[15:20] Speaker B:** Extrinsic. Extrinsic.

**[15:22] Speaker A:** Like working hard at your job to get a bonus. The reward comes from outside.

**[15:26] Speaker B:** Psychologists say intrinsic motivation is stronger and longer-lasting.

**[15:31] Speaker A:** Because if you love what you do, you will keep doing it even when it gets hard.

**[15:34] Speaker B:** So true. Now, let's talk about habits.

**[15:37] Speaker A:** Habits are things you do automatically, without thinking. You do them every day or very often.

**[15:42] Speaker B:** Habits. Habits.

**[15:44] Speaker A:** Like brushing your teeth. You don't think about every step, you just do it.

**[15:47] Speaker B:** Good habits help you. Bad habits hurt you.

**[15:50] Speaker A:** The psychology of habits is fascinating. Psychologists say a habit has three parts, a cue, a routine, and a reward.

**[15:58] Speaker B:** Let me explain. The cue is the trigger, something that starts the habit.

**[16:02] Speaker A:** The routine is the behavior, what you actually do.

**[16:05] Speaker B:** And the reward is what you get from it, why your brain likes it.

**[16:08] Speaker A:** For example, you feel bored. That is the cue. You pick up your phone. That is the routine. You feel entertained. That is the reward.

**[16:15] Speaker B:** After many times, this becomes automatic, a habit.

**[16:19] Speaker A:** To break a bad habit, you need to change the routine. Keep the cue and the reward, but do something different in between.

**[16:25] Speaker B:** That is very powerful advice.

**[16:27] Speaker A:** So, motivation, intrinsic, extrinsic, habits, cue, routine, reward. Alice, have you ever made a decision and later realized it was not logical?

**[16:38] Speaker B:** Oh, many times. Why does that happen?

**[16:41] Speaker A:** It happens because of cognitive biases.

**[16:43] Speaker B:** Cognitive biases. Cognitive biases.

**[16:48] Speaker A:** Cognitive means related to thinking. Biases means errors or mistakes in thinking.

**[16:53] Speaker B:** So, cognitive biases are thinking mistakes.

**[16:57] Speaker A:** Yes, they are patterns in our thinking that cause us to make wrong judgments.

**[17:01] Speaker B:** And the interesting thing is, everyone has them. No one is perfect.

**[17:05] Speaker A:** Let me give you some examples. First, confirmation bias.

**[17:08] Speaker B:** Confirmation bias. What is that?

**[17:11] Speaker A:** Confirmation bias is when you only look for information that confirms what you already believe.

**[17:16] Speaker B:** So, if you believe something, you only look for reasons that prove you are right.

**[17:20] Speaker A:** Exactly. And you ignore information that disagrees with you.

**[17:24] Speaker B:** Confirmation bias. Confirmation bias.

**[17:28] Speaker A:** For example, someone believes exercise does not help lose weight. So, they only read articles that say exercise is useless, and they ignore all the articles that say exercise is very helpful.

**[17:39] Speaker B:** That is confirmation bias.

**[17:41] Speaker A:** Next one, the halo effect.

**[17:43] Speaker B:** The halo effect? Like an angel?

**[17:45] Speaker A:** Yes, like an angel halo. The halo effect is when you think someone is good in many ways just because they are good in one way.

**[17:53] Speaker B:** Hmm, give me an example.

**[17:54] Speaker A:** Okay, imagine a very handsome or beautiful person. Because they look good, you automatically think they are also kind, smart, and successful.

**[18:03] Speaker B:** Oh, just because they look good, you give them other good qualities.

**[18:08] Speaker A:** Exactly. You see the halo around their appearance, and it affects everything else.

**[18:12] Speaker B:** Halo effect. Halo effect.

**[18:15] Speaker A:** Another bias is the negativity bias. This is very interesting.

**[18:19] Speaker B:** What is negativity bias?

**[18:20] Speaker A:** Negativity bias means our brain pays more attention to bad things than good things.

**[18:25] Speaker B:** Really? Why?

**[18:26] Speaker A:** It is from our ancient history. When humans lived in danger every day, noticing bad things like a lion nearby was very important for survival.

**[18:34] Speaker B:** So our brains are programmed to look for danger.

**[18:37] Speaker A:** Even today, when we are mostly safe, we still do it.

**[18:40] Speaker B:** That is why one bad comment feels worse than 10 good comments.

**[18:43] Speaker A:** Exactly. One criticism feels bigger than five compliments.

**[18:47] Speaker B:** Negativity bias. Negativity bias.

**[18:51] Speaker A:** Great. So, cognitive biases, confirmation bias, halo effect, negativity bias.

**[18:57] Speaker B:** I feel like I understand myself much better now.

**[18:59] Speaker A:** That is exactly the point of psychology. Okay, everyone. We have learned so many psychology words today.

**[19:07] Speaker B:** So many. But let's end with some very important and positive words.

**[19:12] Speaker A:** Let's talk about therapy, healing, and growth.

**[19:15] Speaker B:** Therapy is when you talk to a professional, a therapist, to help you understand your feelings and solve your mental health problems.

**[19:23] Speaker A:** Therapy. Therapy.

**[19:25] Speaker B:** A therapist is like a guide. They help you understand yourself better.

**[19:29] Speaker A:** They don't tell you what to do. They help you find your own answers.

**[19:32] Speaker B:** Therapist. Therapist.

**[19:35] Speaker A:** And therapy is not just for people with serious problems. Anyone can benefit from therapy.

**[19:40] Speaker B:** Absolutely. It is like going to the gym for your mind.

**[19:43] Speaker A:** Ha! I love that. The gym for your mind.

**[19:46] Speaker B:** You go to the gym to make your body stronger. You go to therapy to make your mind stronger.

**[19:51] Speaker A:** So, therapy equals gym for the mind. I will remember that.

**[19:56] Speaker B:** Now, healing. Healing is the process of getting better after something painful.

**[20:01] Speaker A:** Healing. Healing.
