Very Bad Therapy

46. Curious Interventions


Listen Later

This week's story from Alison is a throwback to high school and all of Carrie and Ben's greatest fears around teenage embarrassment. We discuss interventions that are better left unsaid (telling an underage client to share romantic feelings with her softball coach) and others that have questionable validity (House-Tree-Person and Rorschach tests). Plus, what does modern science have to say about Instagram Face?
