What Your Therapist Thinks

I really love the two hosts. I personally prefer listening to them rather than the special guests. But I’m happy with anything they offer and hope they come back for a new year.

I liked the podcast but find it interesting how being ageist is an accepted ‘ism’—especially by therapists. The boomer comments and older people references garnered groans and giggles which I personally find offensive. You would be the first to be sensitive to other attitudes related to race, gender or identity, but seem to have no issue with age.

I like the concept of the podcast and I will keep listening, but sometimes it seems like the hosts don’t prep their guests. Moreover the hosts already have scripted ideas of how they would respond to their own questions. So when a guest responds to their question, they can come back and give an even more refined response to their own question that tops the guest. Why have someone on if you’re not going to give them the lead in sharing ideas? Try to have an actual conversation.I suggest giving guests the questions beforehand so they aren’t sounding so blindsided.

I tried really hard to get through an episode but all of the speakers have that strong California affectation. I actually thought it was satire at first because it’s so extreme, they sound exactly like that satirical video where the man calls out the coffee barista on her voice. Bummer because I’d love the info but listening is sooo painful!
