Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video (Robert Whitfield MD, recorded May 20, 2025) where Speaker A and Dr. Whitfield discuss how having a supportive partner after making a major decision is crucial — sometimes even more important than support beforehand — because of the psychological challenges and the risk that getting 'in your head' can undermine recovery or adjustment.

Right? Yeah. Having a supportive partner, even after, has been more important than really before, because it was my decision and I was going to do it. But to have the support after because of what you're going through or what you look like or that mental game is really been very helpful.
That's, you know what I'm referring to, because that is the thing. Then when people get in their headspace, that can be game over for them.
