JOY IS NOW

Hi Friends, I'm Lisa Anderson Shaffer - coach, consultant, psychotherapist, and resident psych enthusiast. And I LOVE psychology! It's the study of human behavior after all and isn't that pretty much everything? Psychology is the one thing that we all have in common, yet we don't talk about it nearly as much as we should. That's where JOY IS NOW comes in.Thank you so much for being here.

It's the study of human behavior after all and isn't that pretty much everything? Psychology is the one thing that we all have in common, yet we don't talk about it nearly as much as we should.

Join me weekly for an in depth look at all things psychology. Together we will talk psych theory, emotion, and human behavior, all through the sharing of stories, experiences and lessons learned.

In this interesting THEORY SEGMENT I discuss my thoughts on the most important question I NEVER get asked, why is psychotherapy  important? We answer this question through the lens of the important role of a late night television host, and why we should stop trying to be unicorns. Spoiler alert, unicorns do exist, just not 24/7.

Thanks for being here.
