Hope

Hope is a very fundamental and positive motivator. Yet, I don't recall anywhere in your lectures where you address "hope" directly. How does hope intersect with your way of thinking?

Finding a good psycho therapist

Dear Dr Peterson, Your talks and books have helped me tremendously over the last two years as I have dealt with the death of my sister (August 2019) and the death of my mother (March 2020 - Not due to Covid). While all that is going on there was the pandemic, my father's death in my early teens, as well as childhood bullying that weighed on me and now I am finding my emotions are erratic and unmanageable. Over the last two years I have searched for more help in the form of therapy. But I am struggling to find the right therapist. I don't have anyone who I have ever told everything to that has been emotionally supportive or really just a listener. I just want to talk, out loud, through my feelings and the pain. The therapists that I speak to offer assistance that isn't helpful. They give me the stuff I could read out of a book. I need someone to hear ME and understand ME, and help me make sense of these emotions that take me over. How can I do better at choosing the person that will help me through this?
