Touching moments, but…
There are some deep and meaningful conversations here, but I find the host often projects her own thoughts and experiences onto the guest or even corrects their language. One guest said she felt like she was lying, and the host interjected “or withholding,” which I felt was very condescending. I think it’s important to allow people to choose their own words - this is part of the process of sharing their stories, which is ostensibly why they’ve been invited on - it’s not a therapy session where it’s the therapist’s job to challenge their patients self-limiting beliefs, etc. In another similar moment, the host says to a father whose three children were murdered, “I see a father who is trying to father his children” and the guest very tactfully pushed back and said, essentially, I’ll always be their father, but I’m no longer a father because my children are dead. I just think it’s so important to allow people to use their own words to tell their own stories and not try to impose our own thoughts and feelings onto them.
