Something You Should Know · Has Therapy Gone Too Far? & The Hidden Genius of Birds · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

I gain skills and tools and learn how to deal with that anxiety.

But for other people, it is just a lifelong activity where they go in and they feel like they have a friend.

With a lot of my patients, I'll see them intensely for a few months and then try to space sessions out.

And I even have some patients who see me once a quarter just to check in, see how things are going, and just to remind them of

how to deal with certain issues that maybe they originally saw me for.

Exactly.

And that may feel good and work for some people.

But more and more, I'm finding that people actually want to have a better understanding of where is this going?

What's your diagnosis of me in terms of the treatment plan?

And how do I get better?

How do I deal with these conflicts that keep popping up in my life?

crisis in a person's in a couple's relationship if there's if there's cheating.

But, you know, therapy counseling can be quite difficult.
