Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 24 ratings
  • Why is everyone's full name being put out there? Of all the podcasts I have listened to I've never heard a mental health professional use real first and last names together, or allow the use of the real first and last names of minors to be spoken and published.

    My family is spoken about in one of these episodes and MINORS are NAMED.
