    S1E3: Fifteen Minutes: Jessica Williams, Unreliable Narrators, and the Practice of Grief

    In this episode of RE:Shrinking, Holly and Carina unpack Season 1, Episode 3: “Fifteen Minutes.” What does it mean to practice grief instead of avoid it? And what happens when everyone in the room is telling a version of the truth — but not the whole truth? This week, we spotlight Jessica Williams and the layered brilliance she brings to Gaby as divorce, relief, and guilt collide. We explore the episode’s thread of unreliable narrators — from patients to therapists to friends — and examine Paul’s now-iconic “fifteen minutes” grief ritual. We also discuss: Jimmy’s blurred professional boundaries Alice learning how to feel joy without betraying her grief The cost of hiding things — even from yourself Why “Resting Dead Wife Face” is both devastating and hilarious

    S1E2: Fortress of Solitude: Harrison Ford, Grief, and the Cost of Not Showing Up

    Shrinking Season 1, Episode 2 — Fortress of Solitude dives straight into grief, avoidance, and what happens when the people who love us don’t know how to show up. On this episode of RE:Shrinking, we focus on Harrison Ford’s Paul Rhoades—his guarded solitude, quiet regrets, and the unexpectedly tender way he steps in for Alice when Jimmy can’t. We unpack the episode’s funniest moments, its most devastating scenes, and the deeper emotional truth underneath them all: coping alone isn’t strength—it’s isolation. We talk: Why Paul’s “Fortress of Solitude” is both protection and prisonJimmy’s unraveling—and the friends who failed himLiz, Gabi, Bryan, and the ripple effects of griefHow honesty, vulnerability, and asking for help become acts of survivalPlus: Harrison Ford trivia, cringe moments, hot takes, and real-world resources for grief and PTSD. NOTE: This episode had some sound issues around the 54m mark. We have addressed the issue for future episodes; but you may find that skipping that portion will make this more fun for you. 🎙️ If you love Shrinking, character-driven TV, or conversations about grief that are funny, human, and uncomfortably real—this episode is for you.

    S1E1 “Coin Flip” | Brett Goldstein, Grief, and Psychological Vigilantism – Shrinking Recap

    Welcome to the very first episode of RE:Shrinking! This week, Carina Cooper and Holly Hurley Feather dive into Shrinking Season 1, Episode 1 — “Coin Flip” — while spotlighting one of the show’s creators and co-writers, Brett Goldstein. As we break down the episode scene by scene, we explore Jimmy’s messy unraveling, Alice’s grief-fueled honesty, and the ethical tightrope of “psychological vigilantism.” From late-night poolside chaos to a gut-punch ending at a soccer field, “Coin Flip” sets the tone for a series that balances zany humor with devastating emotional truth. Along the way, we unpack Brett Goldstein’s creative fingerprints — from Ted Lasso to Films To Be Buried With — and examine how love, grief, and complicated humanity show up in his writing. We also touch on standout performances from Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, Harrison Ford, Lukita Maxwell, and more, plus behind-the-scenes trivia that makes this show even richer. Regular segments include: • Creative Spotlight • Scene-by-Scene Breakdown • Cringe of the Week • Holly’s Hot Take & Carina’s Cold Water • Resources for Real-Life Struggles Because Shrinking isn’t just a comedy about therapists — it’s about grief, addiction, parenting, rage, and what it takes to climb out of the dark. Next week: S1E2 “Fortress of Solitude” and a deep dive into the inimitable Harrison Ford. If you or someone you love is struggling with grief or substance use, resources shared in this episode include SAMHSA’s treatment locator (findtreatment.gov) and other national support networks. Subscribe, follow, and join us each week as we rewatch, rethink, and RE:Shrink.
