The Jefferson Fisher Podcast

Listening to Jefferson for many years I have appreciated how much he has helped me with my communication, especially in difficult situations! Jefferson Fisher is now one of my favorite authors! Yes, JF, I said author! I listen to Jefferson every night on his podcast and many times repeat it. He is now grown significantly as someone who is a short after presenter/lecturer or guests on many platforms. He also has many interesting people on his platforms as well. A few months of starting 3 minute reel in his car, he had grown over 1 million followers! He is one of the GREATEST there is and I am so glad I am one of those million followers! Linda Curtis

I’ve really enjoyed this podcast in the past, particularly the episodes focused on communication, relationships, and navigating difficult interpersonal situations. But lately, the call-in format seems to have taken a turn that I find increasingly difficult to understand. People are now calling in with incredibly serious situations. And I find myself wondering why these people are turning to a podcast for help with problems of this magnitude. Jefferson is a lawyer, and he clearly has useful knowledge and experience to share, but he isn’t a psychologist, addiction specialist, domestic violence professional, or emergency responder. There are situations where thoughtful communication advice is appropriate, and then there are situations where someone needs qualified professional help and potentially immediate intervention. I don’t blame Jefferson for trying to help people who reach out. I’m more baffled by the fact that people facing these kinds of crises are looking to a podcast host to solve problems that really require specialized professional support. I hope the podcast can find its way back toward the type of communication and relationship advice that made it interesting in the first place

Jefferson consistently helps me with tools that I can use immediately through this podcast and his book. I appreciate the way he dignifies our conversation foibles with grace and kindness.

I am very sorry to say the product generated from this therapist is to encourage adult children to estrange themselves rather than learn how to navigate dealing with life and life’s problem. He never recognizes or brings any focus on respect of a parent. As this being your podcast, how was this not brought up given it is a fundamentally part of having faith. This therapist and his advice is exactly why estrangement is becoming an epidemic. He is why young adults become narcissist thinking they are the only person of value or matter and what or how they treat others is an option. Sad sad.
