    ok question asker!!

    Hi! Content note: This episode includes conversations about addiction, substance use, and overdose. What if understanding addiction required the rest of us to do a little more of the work? This week, Stef gets into what it actually means to love someone with addiction—why sobriety has to belong to the person choosing it, how expectations can complicate recovery, and why understanding addiction shouldn’t fall entirely on the person struggling with it. Plus, an unexpectedly emotional conversation about grief, the universe owing her something good, men who refuse to say “I don’t know,” 90 Day Fiancé, and the healing powers of a really good latte. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, SAMHSA’s National Helpline offers free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral and information at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). You can also find treatment resources at FindTreatment.gov. Therapists Said is a space for therapists to anonymously share what’s really happening behind the scenes of the mental health field.

    where is the line??

    Where’s the line between talking honestly about drug use and turning it into a moral issue? This week, Stef gets into the way society talks about addicts, why “just say no” leaves out basically all of the nuance, and what it could look like to de-moralize conversations about addiction altogether. Plus, a chicken breast analogy that somehow explains drug use better than most public health messaging, some thoughts on blurred lines in podcasting, and a story about losing a literal tooth on a bar floor.

    believe in more

    What happens when we stop deciding we already know how everything is supposed to work? This week, Stef gets into the snap judgments we make about therapy (with a little Secret Lives of Mormon Wives along the way), why maybe we should let creative people actually… create, and an extremely necessary workshop on the current temperature of potentially problematic words. Plus, the complicated reality of going back to work after three years of working independently, grieving private practice, and trying to believe there might still be something good on the other side of a transition you didn’t exactly ask for.Have something therapists should be talking about?

    is the jig up?!

    What do aliens, cheating, and sending your partner to therapy have in common? Leave it to Stef to connect the dots. This week, Stef recaps surviving a bachelorette party without wearing a wig, talks friendship without all the pressure, gives an unsolicited PSA about trying to send your partner to therapy, and gets into the 90 Day Fiancé tell-all. Somewhere along the way, we arrive at the larger point: you cannot control other people. Not your partner, not whether they cheat, and apparently not whether Mido is going to keep claiming he’s a virgin. Aliens are real. People cheat. The jig may officially be up.

    vibes are down

    What happens when the people who understand the system best, stop coming for each other and instead focus on greater issues? This week, Stef gets into reality TV nonsense, therapist-on-therapist crime, broken systems, unsolicited solutions, Bubs being deeply annoyed by the sound of her voice, and why sometimes the thing you keep brushing off as “not a big deal” actually deserves a second look. Because maybe we don’t need to fix, minimize, or explain everything immediately. Sometimes we can just… read the pop-up. Therapists: have something to say?

    good vibes, allegedly

    What if having absolutely no idea what you’re doing is actually part of figuring it out? This week, Stef is thinking about what happens when the people expected to hold everyone else are struggling themselves, why better mental healthcare has to include better support for providers, and whether any of us actually know what we’re doing as much as we pretend to. Then, naturally, things spiral into dating apps, keeping your options aggressively closed, having “a man on the line,” and the eternal question of whether Stef is actually palatable. Plus: some truly haunting first-date behavior, wedding-day breakups, 90 Day Fiancé, Mido’s alleged virginity, and several opinions Stef cannot prove but nevertheless needed to share.

    self-awareness: intact, bitch

    What happens when you realize your parents were right and your tone actually is the problem? This week, Stef scraps an entire episode, re-records on a Sunday, and discovers that self-awareness is unfortunately alive and well. Somewhere along the way, an unplanned trip to Chile turns into one of her favorite memories, grief makes the world look a little more beautiful, and crying somehow restores her ability to remember basic geography. Plus, there is not a hot man in sight, there is briefly not a pit bull in sight, Bubs may or may not be protecting the house from the bad energy of a dead bat, and Stef has significantly more opinions about Olympic breakdancing than anyone asked for. 🎧 Episodes with my friends!

    What’s the alternative?

    What happens when your life feels like it’s falling apart and coming together at the same time? This week, Stef is in the messy middle—thinking about career changes, grief, identity, and what it means to keep moving when you don’t actually know where you’re going. She’s talking about the strange experience of knowing something had to change while still grieving what you left behind, and learning to separate one difficult chapter from the rest of your life. Stef is also thinking about what happens when you stop trying to outrun uncomfortable emotions and actually let yourself feel them. Sometimes there isn’t a perfect mental health solution or a clear next step. Sometimes the work is trusting yourself, becoming the adult in the room, and asking: if this isn’t where I’m supposed to be, what’s the alternative?
