A Fresh Perspective on Mental Wellness

As a fellow therapist, i was searching for a podcast that allows for a space of creativity, curiosity, and openness when discussing overall mental wellness. Dope Sh*t My Therapist Says (DSMTS) does just that. Lauren and Ryanne bring unique points of view to topics that are meaningful and relatable. By choosing guests that discuss a wide variety of areas, DSMTS keeps it fresh and cutting edge! Furthermore, for being about a year into the world of podcasting, DSMTS works to captivate and leave you with the little seemingly insignificant lessons that provide great insight, and something to take with you in day to day life. So, what’re you waiting for, go ahead, give it a listen.
