ShrinkChicks

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are joined by Amy Crichton, LMFT, one of their wonderful therapists from The Therapy Group, and her brother, Josh Weaver! Josh and Amy share the incredible story of how they discovered they were siblings just about three years ago. Spoiler alert: our parents' generation did not anticipate DNA test kits being so accessible! Josh explains how he found out that the father who raised him was not his biological father via Ancestry.com, and Amy shares her perspective on how that news impacted her and her family of origin. Tune in to hear their incredible story, the way everything unfolded, what their relationship with one another looks like now, and so much more.
