Meh.
I find this a *somewhat* interesting podcast. It’s sort of safe, however. I feel like Lori could dig deeper and her voice is honestly quite grating. And while Guy’s voice is much more pleasant to hear, he seems a bit old-school in his academic-style of therapy. Further, Guy and Lori basically concede to each other’s opinions/“expertise”, never challenging the other’s take on something. Something in the way they chat seems a bit paternalistic and presumptuous, as well. In contrast, Dear Sugars (with Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond) was a far more interesting, more outside-the-box and philosophically-challenging podcast, and I feel like Dear Therapists falls flat as some sort of sad imitation of the former. Moreover, therapists aren’t supposed to give advice, they are supposed to listen and guide. Unfortunately, Lori & Guy dole out the advice and make a lot of assumptions about their callers, which perhaps is the fault of the editing. I don’t know, this podcast just mostly leaves me with more questions and I feel the “guidance” our hosts give isn’t always the most depth-filled or challenging. All in all, this podcast is kinda “meh”.

This is such a compelling show. I like how the people they talk to seem to have “regular person” problems we all might be dealing with. I haven’t ever been to a therapist so I don’t have firsthand experience but this show really shows the value of talking to professionals who know how to help...Read full review »

If you are going through a breakup, please listen. Guy and Lori are brilliant and offer advice and insight. It is a gift to be able to access their expertise. It is helping me go through a tough time.
