  • So insightful

    Melissa’s insight into the lives and minds of all things Bravo is just so fascinating to me. She brings her clinical experience to the table, and speaks to a really unique perspective in a way that other podcasts don’t. She’s also really kind and compassionate while doing so, and I truly appreciate that in a world is sometimes very snarky takes. Also love her guests, particularly Mandy Slutsker, M&M hour is also not to be missed! Thank you Melissa for being such a light, we love you!

  • Thank you!

    I truly appreciate you and your podcast. I am struggling with some mental health issues and I find your words and advice comforting. I agree with your feelings about Bravo and the road that they are going down to protect the men with no thoughts of the mental damage it causes others. Thank you and keep up the wonderful and honest work!

  • Ethical Hot Gos

    I’m so glad I came across Your Bish Therapist podcast, I am currently listening from the beginning. My feedback: First; it’s so refreshing to have a credible, compassionate and scientific backed approach to the trash TV I love to consume as a guilty pleasure. Melissa, you are pointing out, again, in such an ethical approach the nuances of human behavior, trauma, personality issues, etc. It’s refreshing, because instead of wishing these points were being brought up and arguing certain points in o... more
