  • Really hitting home

    I am a fairly new therapist trying to go out on my own and a therapist friend recommended this. The very first episode really hit home for me in a way I was not expecting. I love the whole concept and how it is a challenge to the martyr/savior stuff that comes up for all of us in one way or another. So grateful you created this podcast!
