Absolute garbage
Don’t be manipulated by this quack
Podcast connoisseur
I enjoy this podcast and learn a lot about psychology.
Narcissistic quack with nothing to say
Don’t waste your time or money on this guy’s content. One look at his social media profiles will tell you everything you need to know. For a “psychotherapist” he shares zero knowledge from his alleged education and packages his opinion like it’s mental health. He’s not actually saying anything. He’s got the blanks stare of Narccicus as he gazes into the camera trying to be relatable but it’s quite chilling and uncanny. Major creep and just another wannabe mental health grifter, avoid avoid avoid avoid.
