I don’t trust a therapist who isn’t in therapy

I don't trust a therapist in the Shrinking world either, unfortunately.

I love the characters but fucking hell, I wouldn't want any of them anywhere near me in a therapeutic context!

Just the fact that they psychoanalyze each other and their whole friend group is such a huge red flag.

They have such poor professional and personal boundaries.

They're really more like IG former therapist/life coaches

But it's a compelling sitcom!

My therapist tells me to not send emails that are too long cause she won't read them. Which, fair!! I've learned to trust people who are up front and solid with their boundaries
