Summary
On today’s episode, D gets real, open, and honest with the two incredible women behind the West Chester Therapy Group and hosts of the ShrinkChicks podcast, Jennifer Chaiken, LMFT & Emmalee Bierly, LMFT. Through their podcast and work, Jennifer and Emmalee strive to make therapy more available and relatable to those who might not have access to traditional therapy and those who are seeking answers to a huge variety of life’s biggest questions. They share how having horrible therapy experiences in the past led them to take their down-to-earth approach with clients and listeners. Plus, they answer why you actually don’t need to listen to your therapists, why it’s important to set boundaries, and why more people should view therapy as preventative versus a last-minute solution.
