ENCORE: Lying to your therapist

Jake Ernst & Simon Paluck
About this episode

This Isn't Therapy... it's the pinocchio-inspired epi about lying to your therapist. In this episode, Jake and Simon use a case scenario as a study about lies, fibs, and fairytales in the therapy room. They talk about what may lie beneath our lies (hehe) and can what happen when a therapist may suspect a lie is being told.

P.S. The notes we were singing are Bb and A! ;)

Don't forget, Mary: Submit a quandary, query, or question with our newest segment Asking For A Friend...
