Listening to the episode with Emma and her attraction to older men, I was not surprised that Emma did not follow up with the therapists. The “advice” given by Lori included the words “force” and “make you”. This is not advice, this is taking someone’s autonomy away by assuming you know better than them what they need, as well as being belittling. As a trained practitioner I was actually horrified by this, and since Guy and Lori did not understand why Emma ghosted them, I would suggest they consi... more
My only qualm is that there are not more episodes. I love how nearly every episode there is something useful I can use in my life! Thank you for such an incredible tool!
Lori & Guy are amazing therapists who can immediately narrow in on 1-3 messages the patient needs to hear during their one, brief session. They’re gentle with their messaging when speaking about hard truths. In every episode I learn something new about myself or challenges in my life. It also validates the work I’ve done previous in therapy. What a gift!
I really like this podcast. I find Guy and Lori’s insights, advice, and empathy helpful to the people they talk to, as well as to me as a listener. I am amazed at how much insight I get from the podcast that I can apply to my own life, even when the person they are focusing on in that episode is very different from me. It is a great way to be a fly on the wall for therapy sessions as well as get ideas that you can use yourself.
Insightful. Both therapists have a kind manner to them. I think given that they have one episode to help someone, they move much faster than a regular therapist would normally move- but it’s on target and works!

Two therapists guide real people through raw relationship, family, and personal-growth challenges, offering concrete, actionable guidance and then checking back to see how outcomes unfold. Episodes span infidelity, chronic illness within marriages, divorce, parenting, sibling dynamics, and navigating identity and trauma, all framed around practical strategies that listeners can apply to their own lives. A standout element is the transparent, step-by-step therapy-style conversations that blend empathy with clear takeaways, plus occasional appearances by well-known figures who discuss emotional health and relationships. This mix makes it valuable for listeners seeking relatable, evidence-informed relationship advice and self-improvement insig... more
