Love love loved the 2 part ep on Lessons from psychoanalysis!!! So informative and enjoyable!
Would very much welcome an ep that continues the conversation into more present day work (parts work, somatic practices, etc) … keep up the great work!
Hi Forrest,
I’ve been listening to your podcast for some months now. I’ve been in therapy (many kinds of) and I can recognise how experienced but also humble you are to talk about very important topics from different points of view, scientifically, culturally and from hands-on experience. I find critical thinking really important, especially nowadays! Thank you for your great work. It has been very helpful listening to the episodes, and the guests you have are also great to listen to. Greetings... more
Such a great podcast! Interesting subjects presented coherently, in a non-intimidating, pleasant format. I particularly loved the episodes on psychoanalysis and humanistic/person centred therapy. I would love it if you could do more episodes on therapy modalities.
Sometimes you feel crazy when you aren’t validated with how you are feeling. This podcast made me feel seen, heard, and loved; or at least worth loving. It gave me more compassions for everyone that I crossed. I appreciate the transparency, vulnerability, and overall content. Forrest, Rick and especially Elizabeth have changed my life without ever meeting me. Thank you. Thank you beyond what my words can express.
Consistently wonderful. Especially live episodes with Rick and Forrest together. ‘Nuff said!
