Summary

Episode 126: Therapy is getting a total makeover as the infamous and highly esteemed ShrinkChicks join Natalie for a serious dose of real talk that challenges the traditional model of what therapy should look like. Emmalee Bierly and Jennifer Chaiken are two relatable and hilarious licensed marriage and family therapists that are shattering the clinical wall and bringing humanity to therapy. There have been studies that show the most important predicator of therapeutic success is the connection and relationship with your therapist. Emmalee and Jen have found that developing that relationship often involves breaking away from the traditional mold of what a therapist should be, so they never shy away from being themselves and even share personal, vulnerable stories on their own podcast, ShrinkChicks. Today’s episode covers a lot of mental health ground as the three discuss ways to discover coping mechanisms that work for you, how to deal with criticism and embrace failure, and why they decided to start their very own practice. With practitioners in states across the US, these best friends discuss how to grow your business while simultaneously growing in your relationships and working on yourself. If the typical, emotionless Freudian mold just isn’t working for you and you’re looking for a fresh perspective on therapy, this episode is for you. It’s out with the old and in with the new.
