This is the Terry Cole show and as you might have guessed I'm your host Terry Cole

for over two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist, love and boundaries expert, and I'm also

the founder of the Real of Revolution and Boundary boot camp.

On this show I'll bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology,

inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the
