Most people have an opinion about therapy — even if they’ve never tried it.

In this episode, we talk about the different counseling and healing modalities we’ve actually experienced, including CBT, EMDR, large group awareness training, and ketamine-assisted therapy. Where they came from, what they’re designed to do, and where they helped… or didn’t.

We also explore the archetypes of people who feel like they don’t need therapy — the stoic, the fixer, the intellectualizer, the spiritual bypasser, and the burned-once — and how much of that resistance is shaped by culture, family, gender, and identity rather than truth.

This isn’t an episode about convincing anyone to go to therapy.

It’s about curiosity, choice, and understanding that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I should be able to handle this on my own”

• “Therapy didn’t work for me”

• “I already understand myself”

• or “There has to be another way”

This conversation is for you.
