May 28, 2019 Home?
For many of us, homelessness is something that happens to other people. People who had bad luck, or who made bad choices, or who are bad people … or some combination of all that.
But the fact is, the average age of someone in the U.S. experiencing homelessness is 9 years old. And one in three people experiencing homelessness are homeless with their family.
In this episode, we talk to individuals who have experienced various degrees of homelessness at some point during their youth.

May 21, 2019 Maybe You Should Talk To Someone
As a new psychotherapist, Lori Gottlieb has a lot of ideas about what a therapist is supposed to be and how a therapist is supposed to act. Therapists are here to help us, of course, but they aren’t supposed to become our friends.
When Lori’s patient Julie comes to her after a year and a half of therapy and tells Lori that she’s dying of cancer, Lori is heartbroken. And when Julie asks Lori to stay with her as her therapist until the day she dies, Lori says yes.
This is an episode about what it means to be both a professional and a human being.
