In this dark time of year, discombobulated by time change and early sunset and elections (that luckily weren't so horrible) and the shifting into jackets and back out again and then in again, let's turn towards the dark.
You'll hear an episode I made for A Therapist Walks Into A Bar in 2016. "Very Dark, Very Appropriate" celebrates sad music and turning towards hard feelings. This piece features San Francisco psychotherapist Stacey McGuirl.
