Useful, but prone to filler
The good: the host is very good at describing things in a way that authenticate both perspectives without demonizing those who may fall into “toxic” behaviors. Things that are suggested to be done instead are usually helpful and insightful. The best episodes are the 18-25 minute ones. The bad: he repeats himself a lot and talks in circles without focus. Most episodes over 25 minutes take forever to get to the point and waste your time with lots of anecdotes and saying the same thing ten different ways. The host is not a psychological counselor but heavily pushes his “course/workbook.” The episodes should be shorter—because the shorter ones are great—and more focused. The lack of professional guests is concerning.

I...Read full review »

If your a human that gets into relationships, you NEED to listen. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 13 years. I was left feeling like a shell of my former self. I was just listening and remembered times that he would use religion against me and ask if Jesus would be happy with my...Read full review »
