Ever wonder what your therapist really thinks when you say “this might sound crazy…”? Welcome to Therapists Say — the podcast where three real therapists (who also happen to run businesses, raise kids, and spiral regularly) talk about what it's actually like behind the scenes. Join Liz, Mel, and Berry as they unpack the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of being in the mental health world — with zero fluff, plenty of sarcasm, and the occasional “Should we cut that?” moment. It’s unfiltered, unpolished, and probably something we’ll overanalyze later. But hey — that’s showbiz, baby.
