In this episode of Black Sheep, we light the metaphorical pipe and crack open a messy, unfiltered convo about the pros and cons of therapy, where it works, where it absolutely doesn’t, and all the weird in-betweens. One host is literally a therapist. The other’s married to her and definitely didn’t ask for free therapy every day of his life, but gets it anyway.
We talk about:
Therapy vs. coaching vs. ChatGPT vs. your friend who means well but gives terrible advice.
The emotional gymnastics of growing up in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s.
Over-pathologizing everything, from childhood sadness to puberty-induced existential dread.
What happens when therapists haven’t done their own healing (spoiler: it shows).
Why experience > degrees, and how wisdom is born through doing the damn work.
Pharmaceutical quick fixes and the dangerous myth of the “chemical imbalance.”
Real talk on values, emotional self-reliance, and reclaiming your healing.
Whether you’ve spent years on a therapist’s couch or you’re just starting to peel off the mask you didn’t know you were wearing, this one’s for you.
