Dear Therapists with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

This week we’re in session with Kate, who wants to break free from her people-pleasing tendencies. We help her to see how this pattern developed in her family growing up, and how to start prioritizing her own feelings and needs with her parents and brother now that she’s an adult.

Encore: S03 Ep 20 - We Discuss Adam

We hope you enjoyed Season 3 of Dear Therapists. As we get ready for Season 4, we have two special bonus episodes to share with you. Sometimes after a session, we like to think about what worked well, and also what we would do differently if we could do it again. In these two bonus episodes, we do a case consultation with our intern, Ben, a psychology graduate student who pre-interviews the guests and helps select who gets on the show.

This week/Next week we’ll unpack what worked with a session we loved, “Adam’s Cheating Boyfriend.” The next week, we’ll talk about a session that didn’t go as well–and share what we would have done differently.
