Listen to Dr. Elana's podcast : Talk Relationship to Me
Dr. Alana Hoffman joins us to explain why reality TV might actually be cheaper than therapy. We dive into postpartum depression, anxiety, relationship red flags, shame, parenting struggles, divorce, and why watching Bravo can sometimes teach you more about yourself than you'd like. Plus: accountability, alcoholism, reality TV therapists, and the question nobody wants to ask—are these people okay, or just great television?
