- Great Podcast became unavailable for me
Hey Forrest, I love your podcast and listen to it regularly, but for quite a few days now I couldn’t access any of your episodes anymore. Does this have to do with the fact that I am located in Germany? It doesn’t seem to be a hardware or software problem at my end and I have tried using different devices. I hope this is fixable and maybe more people have the same problem. Thanks, Patrick

Love this show and the generational balance the two presenters provide. Also appreciate the skilful art of putting complex therapeutic ideas into plain English, which helps me in my counselling work.

Australiaa month ago - I am a better person because of this podcast
I have been a listener for the last four years or so and I can say with confidence that after all this time, I have absolutely internalized much of what Forrest, Rick, and their guests have discussed, which has made me a better version of myself. In particular I’ve found some of your “parts” episodes extremely moving for my own previously undiscovered “parts” but my favorite episode has to be the “End Self Punishment” episode. I really needed that. Thank you so much for what you do and keep it u... more

Apple Podcasts5Miss CharlieUnited States2 months ago - A slice of heaven and then some.
Wow!. These two have changed my life. Being Indo-Canadian and growing up in a single family home with my mother not speaking English and raising two wild boys; one a restless schizophrenic and another with severe ADHD; living in poverty and my mother being depressed and overwhelmed, I simply did not learn about relationships at all. Being a serial podcaster I can say the dynamic between father and son is tapestry in motion. They complement each other just perfect; as soon as big man Dr. Rick Han... more
