  • Disappointing, wrong idea of what therapy should and can look like

  • I don't want this podcast to end .

    Every episode is relevant. I've gotten more from this cast than a personal therapist. Each time I see the next episode I think that it doesn't apply to me but if I listen lo and behold it does . Emotions are universal and even though circumstance may be a little bit different , the emotion and leading remain the same .
