You Need Therapy

I found Kat’s podcast while searching for a way to understand and move through a toxic work situation I was experiencing a couple seasons ago. For context, I’m a GenXer and had been seeing a very expensive therapist at the time. My therapist was helpful, but this topic was too complex and I was kind of spinning wheels. The episode she had on how to move through/process a toxic work environment with a narcissist is bar none the best advice I have heard on the topic. I had listened to no joke 100’s of hours on the topic because it was such foreign territory for me and I knew something wasn’t right with this work experience I had with a client of mine. Kat’s episode and the WeWork episode with Dr. Ramani I have listened to and shared probably a dozen times or more. She said something no other expert on the topic of workplace narcissism had said - and the entire experience I had came into sharp focus for me and I started my journey to health. I have shared that episode with other colleagues and they found the same relief. We are not crazy - the chaos and weird behavior is on purpose to make us feel off balance and doubt ourselves as a power and control mechanism. The thing she said that I had never heard and applied 1000 percent to my case was how toxic covert narcissists will do things like over pay you to gain control! I had never heard that before and it was like so many lightbulbs turned on so many puzzle pieces suddenly fell into place and I started to see my situation in a whole new light. Since then I’ve tuned into her podcast and truly look forward to the episodes each week. Couch Talks are great too. Little moments of calm in my week. I highly recommend this podcast for any phase of life! Kat has a warm yet no nonsense way of helping untangle very complex emotions and situations. She has a way with language too- the right words said in a new way. Gold! YOU NEED THIS PODCAST! 😀

No matter where you are on your mental health journey, this podcast is for you. Kat is relatable, funny, and passionate about what she does. She brings in great guests, but even her solo episodes are so insightful. Give this a listen! You won’t regret it.

I really wanted to like this but the upspeak was distracting, and the hosts’ relative newness as therapists made the content pretty unremarkable.

I’m a weekly listener of 4 months! I was introduced to you need therapy through Amy Brown’s podcast. I really enjoyed hearing Amy and Kat chat like they were some of my girlfriends having coffee in my kitchen, so when I heard Kat mention her own podcast, I was eager to give it a listen. I also began my own personal therapy journey this year to begin addressing several topics in my life and so I appreciate hearing from the therapists perspective, but also I feel like Kat is just like another friend, talking to us, her friends, honestly about all sorts of things. I also really appreciate the variety that she brings to the show. Big fan!!!
