  • So helpful!

    I know they get a lot of grad students saying how helpful this podcast is, and I’m another one of those! Just wanting to say thank you to Dave and Greg for creating interesting, entertaining, applicable conversations about theoretical models that help me understand both the theory, disorder, etc., and how it applies to clients, all in an enjoyable way to learn and listen. I am in my second year of my MSW degree and just started an internship where I will begin to be assigned clients soon. Trying... more

    This is one of the few therapeutic based podcasts that will keep my attention. I love listening and I so value their vulnerability, humanness, and humor that they bring to each episode. I’m excited to for episodes to come!

  • A Grateful Therapist

    I absolutely love listening to this podcast. It is nice to get little refreshers and different perspectives on therapist related things, but the random topics discussed are equally as entertaining. I am laughing and smiling throughout most of the episodes. Please keep producing episodes! This is the first podcast I’ve gotten hooked on in quite some time. Also- I never leave reviews, but as a fellow therapist, I know we enjoy the occasional positive feedback so I thought I would feed your egos a ... more

  • ACT episode was great :)

    The ACT episode was great! It was the first episode I listened to of you guys and I’ve been binge listening since! I am in grad school and found that episode because I’m doing ACT small groups at a high school. The coins in the hand analogy was so great and I shared it with my class.

  • Frustrating

    I listened to the episode on ACT. The hosts seemed like nice, well-meaning guys. But they were pretty uninformed, imprecise, and incoherent. They compared ACT and CBT, but didn’t seem to know that many consider ACT to be under the CBT umbrella. They also went on for a while about how some terms in ACT are too academic, technical, etc. I found this very frustrating. The people developing therapy modalities shouldn’t have to talk in simplified language amongst each other! The jargon serves a purpo... more
