My strange addiction is……..self-help? In this episode, these angsty therapists and their angsty therapist friend, Heidi, explore Heidi’s love for the self-help community and try to answer the question: at what point is too much self-help actually not helpful at all?  Is the self-help culture in America solely a culture of consumerism? And is self-help having intrusive thoughts about never being "healed enough" or is it just Tony Robbins jumping in an ice bath and hyping people up at a conference in Florida?  Join us as we explore these questions and so much more!

Do you like being psychoanalyzed incessantly all day every day? Neither do…our partners or people we’ve dated. This week, Angsty Therapists laugh their way through all the ways that dating a therapist is a nightmare. Between our obsession with deep conversations to our ability to therapize our way out of losing a fight, we ask ourselves… how do people tolerate us? Listen to this week’s episode to find out if dating a therapist has any redeemable benefits or if you should give us all the swipe left.

Is a bath and a mindfulness app an answer to your self-care prayers? Or does it leave you feeling more irritated and with a UTI? This week, these angsty therapists try to answer the age old question: does self-care work or is it just an easy, therapy go-to response? Listen as they share their attempts and failures to get into the self-care hype and why often self-care activities and advice may not magically solve all of your problems.

Adults always say... “why don’t I have any friends?” This week, Angsty Therapists break down some of their theories behind why adults suck at friendship. Are you hiding from others because of your social anxiety? Or maybe you’re scaring everyone away because of your unresolved issues? Find out why that perfect picture of six best friends hanging out at Central Perk coffee is… not happening for any of us. 

All I want out of therapy is to…. be liked? This week, angsty therapists unpack the ever-present phenomenon of trying to people-please your therapist. Between wanting our therapists to laugh at our jokes, to puffing up our therapists egos through complements, we wonder… how many of us have completely lost sight of the point of therapy? Listen to Maddy, Katie and Dre try to answer the hard question: how to stop being a therapy kiss-ass.

We want to hear from you!

Do all therapists wear grandma sweaters? On this episode, Maddy, Katie and Dre make fun of therapist stereotypes. Angsty therapists discuss the silly portrayals of therapists in the media and how these lead to rigid archetypes around what it means to be a therapist. Even therapy grad school tells therapists how they “should” look and act to be therapisty enough. Hosts reveal the moments their grad school professors said, “Um…. You’re not exactly giving therapist vibes right now?!?”
