    The Grey Areas: Boundaries, Dating, Gifts & Running Into Clients at Target

    Send us a text What happens when the therapy room meets real life? In this episode, we unpack the grey areas therapists navigate every day like gift giving, self-disclosure, running into clients in the wild, and what it’s actually like to date as a therapist. This episode goes a little off the rails….in the best way? It’s honest, reflective, funny, and deeply human. No perfect answers, just real talk about navigating nuance, protecting your energy, and remembering you’re allowed to be a person first and a therapist second. Support the show

We talk about what it’s really like being a therapist around the holidays, the emotional weirdness of moon cycles, and the therapy animals who somehow keep us grounded. A little humor, a little magic, and a lot of real talk. Support the show
