Michael is coming to terms with loving his family but not necessarily liking them. Lou and Michael debate grief before discussing cutting people out of your life and closing the door on relationships. We finally figure out why Michael won't close the door. <br><br>Support the pod:<br><a href='http://patreon.com/secondhandtherapypod'>http://patreon.com/secondhandtherapypod</a><br><a href='http://secondhandtherapypod.com/'>http://secondhandtherapypod.com</a><br><br>Follow us here: <br><a href='http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod'>http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod</a><br><a href='http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod'>http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod</a><br><a href='http://instagram.com/itsloubear'>http://instagram.com/itsloubear</a><br><a href='http://instagram.com/malonecomedy'>http://instagram.com/malonecomedy</a><br><br>Contact us:<br><a href='https://gmail.com/'>secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com</a><br><a href='https://tel:818/'>818-850-2448</a>Support the pod:<br>PATREON - <a href='http://patreon.com/secondhandtherapypod'>Join Patreon for Exclusives</a><br>MERCH - <a href='http://secondhandtherapypod.com'>Shop Merch</a><br><br>Follow us here: <br><a href='http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod'>http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod</a><br><a href='http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod'>http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod</a><br><a href='http://instagram.com/itsloubear'>http://instagram.com/itsloubear</a><br><a href='http://instagram.com/malonecomedy'>http://instagram.com/malonecomedy</a><br><br>Contact us:<br><a href='https://gmail.com/'>secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com</a><br><a href='https://tel:818/'>818-850-2448</a><br>PO BOX 230595, Las Vegas, NV 89105<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
