Jeremy is graced by some of the coolest therapists he knows, who all are returning guests, who also all happen to be named Emily. So much cool conversation, we talk about the paperwork drain of therapy, the lack of modern society to hold and respect complexity, and generational trauma within our own field of therapy. We also talk about being parents, shifting over the course of our career, and oddly foot fungus comes up, too, so it’s a wide ranging conversation.
