  • Great show, awful song.

    Eli, love the Podcast. Great show, but you MUST change the music. It is terrible.

    Also, episode 134 is so cringey. The pronouns, the rap song. Cringe.

  • Great Pod, but the title

    I’m an MAMFT student and thoroughly enjoy the podcast. It would be really help if the title included a small descriptor noting the topic. Such as: Episode 1: Jane Doe - CBT

    Again, thanks for this great resource

  • Episode titles by subject instead of guest

    As a student in an MAMFT program, I have enjoyed many of the episodes. Thanks! My only suggestion would be to title them differently. I’d like for the title to mention the topic each episode is about. The name of the guest (the way titles are now) does not help audiences find subjects they are interested in. I understand guests are known experts. But for someone like me, who is new in the field, just their name does not tell me anything.

  • Worth It

    I have learned a tremendous amount from this podcast on the systemic model of marriage and family therapy. Institutions do not train well on the nuances of the relational model…(at least my program did not) and I was able to glean a lot from each of the people the host brought on. Dr. Eli Karam is a terrific host and does a fabulous job interviewing different personalities. I have sent several episodes to classmates of mine in our MS in Counseling degree program here in California. Thank you for... more
