This isn't therapy... it's an episode about authenticity, being yourself, and knowing who you are. In this episode, Jake guides Simon through an ~authenticity exercise~! OoOoooO! They discuss whether or not authenticity should be everyone's goal and how the path to becoming yourself looks different for everyone (and how to find your own way!)... CAUTION: THIS EPISODE IS EXTREMELY FUNNY AND AUTHENTIC.

Is the fly-on-the-wall therapy genre unhealthy voyeurism?
This isn't therapy... it's some straight up real talk about depictions of therapy in popular media. Simon, a filmmaker, and Jake, a therapist, talk about the emerging media genre of fly-on-the-wall therapy. From explosive couples’ dramas on TV to podcasts with recorded therapy sessions, fly-on-the-wall therapy is pulling in huge audiences. But is it ethical? Is it exploitation? Is it just unhealthy voyeurism?
