  • Sloppy drunk Jim

    I support and generally love this show but please stop releasing episodes where Jim is so sloppy drunk that he’s slurring and obnoxiously repeating himself…

  • A vote for Jim

    Great podcast, especially all the times when Jim opens his holy mouth. His voice is just the right volume for my ears and everything he says makes me think he must have had a doctorate, at one point. 10/10, especially Jim.

  • My favorite therapy podcast!

    How is it possible for a podcast to be this good? The mix of practical, down-to-earth advice and humor makes it incredibly binge-worthy! Jim has the perfect podcast host voice, so much knowledge, and he always ties each question together so beautifully at the end. There is perfect chemistry between all hosts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#431: Award Winning Imposter Syndrome, Ignoring the News
Q: How can I balance staying informed with not feeling overwhelmed by world news?
The panel suggests a mix: stay informed enough to be responsible, but create a mental boundary. Use concise sources, limit doom scrolling, and allow yourself a 'happy place' retreat. If action is possible, do something concrete; otherwise, give yourself permission to disengage and protect your sanity.
#427: Inheritance Drama, Breakup Timing, Factitious Disorder
Q: When should someone in a long-term relationship consider breaking up?
The panel agrees it depends on whether there has been sustained effort to address issues, whether the person remains invested, and whether the relationship continues to meet basic needs and values; therapy is suggested as a step before breaking up.
#424: Perpetual stress, Audhd Burnout, Gender Identity Changes
Q: What role should a friend play when another friend's partner is changing their gender identity?
Be supportive without forcing decisions, acknowledging the emotional turbulence it brings.
