So often when students talk about vulnerability with me in therapy, I hear the phrase, "I don't want to be a burden." On this episode, I talk with Jonathan Huston, a counselor at CAPS about how our language and culture contribute to the belief that being vulnerable means being a burden and how to get past barriers to vulnerability.

This week we discuss the end of many of our biggest topics. Friday the 2nd had the announcement of new USUSA Officers for the 2018-19 term.Thursday the 8th marked the end of the 45-day Utah Legislative Session. Many bills to be discussed, some passed, some failed. Friday's loss to UNM marked the end of Aggie Basketball's 2017-18 Season, and notably, Sunday marked the end of Basketball Coach, Tim Duryea's, tenure at Utah State. Let go a year before he was supposed to end his contract, Aggie Athletics will pay the remainder of his contract (near 300K.) Nationwide Search for that position starts now.
We also cover the Firing of Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State, and touch on new tariffs introduced to steel and aluminum.
