In this episode of “Shrink This!,”Lisa and Nick tackle the messy line between venting, complaining, and dialing an emotional 911 every time life goes sideways. From friends who drain you dry to the guilt of feeling like a “burden,” they break down when it’s okay to call for backup — and when you need to put on your big-kid pants and self-soothe. With brutal honesty, biting humor, and a few too-real stories (dead birds and CVS meltdowns included), the duo takes on the comedy—and cringe—of figuring out your own emotional emergencies.
