In this episode, we have on Ben Harrison. We discuss in detail why it is important. We feel to have a therapist, even though you have worked a 12 step program or our currently working a 12 step program. Often times people assume that just because they are in recovery, they don't need a therapist, which we challenge that thought. We feel that it is vital for people to continue seeing a therapist no matter what, because what do you have to lose?
