    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 129 - Comedians Manufacturing Consent for the Culture War

    This week Jeremy looks at the process in which standup comedy has become a “neutral” on-ramp for culture-war ideology, shifting the Overton Window not through arguments, but through vibes, repetition, and algorithmic adjacency. We look at what gets framed as “reclaiming” language or pushing boundaries and how it actually functions as desensitization to train audiences to suppress empathy and mistake numbness for nuance. We also look at the billionaire buyout of our attention span and how their ownership of the entertainment industry is a purposeful goal of authoritarians and fascists everywhere.  Struggling to set boundaries that protect your peace? Finding yourself stuck in a burnout cycle trying to balance being informed with being over everything? Join Jeremy for the “Burnout to Boundaries” retreat February 6th-8th in Princeton, WI! We will learn how to effectively set and enforce boundaries, we will let our nervous systems rest, we will eat good food and we will leave feeling energized to get out of that burnout cycle!

To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com ----- Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 128 - Are Right Wingers Okay?

    Lolz, obviously not. This week Jeremy takes a deeper look at the inevitable and terribly unsurprising turn of right wing media grifters and tech fascists to religion! Joe Rogan thinks AI is Jesus, and Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist. So, we look at the general unwellness of their thought processes, as well as the remaining utility of religion as opium for the masses. It’s a good time! Struggling to set boundaries with your local tech fascist? Finding yourself stuck in a burnout cycle fending off your weird uncle’s religious ideas?

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 124 - 'Tis the Season of Moral Injury

    This week Jeremy follows up on last week’s holiday themed episode with the concept of moral injury and how the holidays often force us into rituals, traditions, and family dynamics that violate our core values. We unpack the psychological and somatic cost of participating in celebrations rooted in colonialism, religious harm, or identity erasure, and why “forced cheer” can feel like a betrayal of self. Finally, we explore practical strategies for navigating holiday gatherings with integrity, boundaries, and a reclaimed sense of agency.

    Your Therapist Needs Therapy 123 - Healthy Holiday Boundaries with Emily Aleksy

    In this episode, Jeremy and Emily dig into the realities of setting and enforcing holiday boundaries, especially when family dynamics, guilt, and old patterns collide. They explore why boundaries are for the self and not other people, and discuss how unclear limits, people-pleasing, and differing needs make the holidays a pressure cooker for emotional and moral conflict. Together, they offer practical strategies like escape hatches, clear enforcement, self-kindness, and values-aligned decision-making to help listeners navigate chaotic gatherings without abandoning themselves. Info about Emily’s wonderful practice can be found at ERA Wellness. For info on neurodivergent private practice startups, check out her Instagram, and while you’re doing the social media thing give @ERAwellness a follow as well.  As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube.
