Welcome to Sessions, we're super excited to be able

to start this new podcast. My name is Rob Gent, and I'm a

psychotherapist at heart. This podcast will interview a vast

array of people who are considered experts in

contributing to health and functionality in some sort of

way. The structure is really about taking a journey through

people's narratives or experts, experiences and stories and live

journey to benefit the lives of others as well as themselves.

And I think that's going to be a unique opportunity for us to

listen, to be able to engage and participate in a quote unquote,

"therapy-like" session with experts, and to hear how life is

taking them on this fabulous journey that they've ended up in

a place to be able to contribute to the beneficial health of

others. Often we get experts in podcasts, "Here's the data.

Here's the research, here's the intervention," which is super

helpful. But we know that people are most captivated by life

stories. We know that the principle of an integrated life

that people choose careers and people choose paths because

they've had some experience with it. My own journey has been

filled with amazing opportunities. As we do take the

journey of these podcasts you'll hear about my own shame, my own

insecurities, my own struggles in life. That all of that

combined together has brought me to an amazing career as Chief

Clinical Officer of Embark Behavioral Health. We know that

we're storied creatures that were captivated, we absorb

people's stories, because we translate it to our own

experience. Whether you're a clinician, a practitioner, or

just a caring somebody who's interested in gaining a deeper

understanding of all things functional and holistic health,

be it mental health issues, physical health issues, and more

importantly, how they translate together, how they go together.

I like many people have utilized my story, my narrative as a

source to be able to heal to heal my own shame, to heal my

own anxiety. I've struggled with all kinds of depression, and

that healing journey has brought me to where I am today, and this

is why we're bringing you this podcast. We hope you enjoy your

time with us. It's time to improve your understanding your

experience to benefit your lives. Please subscribe wherever

you listen to podcasts. We look forward to seeing you soon.
