Customer Reviews
Thank you so much!!
Such helpful, practical advice given in a nonjudgmental way. Dr. Saltz is a brilliant author and psychiatrist and her work is much needed during these challenging, uncertain times. She breaks down difficult and stressful topics in a way that makes me feel less alone and overwhelmed.
Lack of Internalized misogyny coversation
I loved this podcast up until the 9/8/23 episode. The feedback to the mom with body issues left out a huge conversation about the internalized misogyny of the mommy & beauty industrial complexes. The advice to “put on some lingerie and just do it anyway until you want it more” was not it. Seriously considering unfollowing this pod bc of this issue.
Heteronormative
Heard this recommended on another show so I thought I’d try it. The first episode I d listened to (just picked the most recent) “Loving your body” was so heteronormative I couldn’t even finish. It was essentially “so you hate your body? That’s fine because Most Men want curves; Most Men are attracted to XYZ; you should listen to your husband when he tells you he’s still sexually attracted to you.” I’m cishet and it was too much for me to listen to. It didn’t help that the first ad break was “the libruls are still gonna take over America, so what are YOU doing to prepare for disaster?! Buy whatever drivel we’re selling if you’re a True Patriot!”
I can’t imagine recommending this to anyone I love.
