Hello my darlings! Welcome to our podcast Shit Your Shrink Thinks. We are a comedy podcast created by two therapists who never took the advice we were given... ”stick to your day job.” No way, sensible opinions, you won‘t get us! We are here to give you the real deal on everything mental health, wellness and life in general. Find out what therapists really think about it all and *maybe* learn a few skills along the way.
