| 4/30/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 169 - What It's Like To Be Told You May Be Dying | For most people, being diagnosed with stage four colon cancer represents the end of their life's journey, but for Tim McDonald it was the beginning of a new path. Tim, a stage four colorectal cancer survivor and liver transplant recipient, talks to Liana about how he turned his struggle with his health crises into a renewed purpose as a patient advocate, speaker, host of the "Advocacy at Work"podcast and author of the book "From Patient to Advocate: Turning Survivorship into Impact". Tim's tale is inspiring and important listening for people experiencing life-threatening illnesses and those who love and support them. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 4/24/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 168 - How The Boys Helps Us Understand Bad People | Where's the line between "bad people" and "good people who do bad things"? Using characters from the Amazon Prime series The Boys as examples, Kerzner examines how intent, mental health, and behavior intersect to define true "bad person" territory. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 167 - The Trumpertantrum! | No, this episode isn't about politics, but the recent social media tirade from US President Trump threatening to militarily destroy Iran and its people, expressed in vulgar language, is a prime example of how behaviour once considered unfit for public display has now become normalized. Not only normalized, but held up as examples of strength, honesty and courage. Liana takes apart this troubling trend, influences which motivate it, illnesses which may contribute to it, and how we push back against it - without ourselves exhibiting the same behaviour. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 166 - Independent Living With Disabilities - Forget All The Happy-Smiley Words | "Disabled" works just fine for Todd Vaarwerk: Chief Policy Officer for West New York Independent Living, he's more interested in results. Todd uses a wheelchair due to the effects of cerebral palsy, so nobody is better at separating efforts which are useful support for disabled people from the 'well-meaning but useless' or counter-productive steps taken. And he does it with a rich sense of humour in conversation with Liana, who shares her own stories of 'accommodation' that really wasn't. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 165 - Duty of Care | Duty of Care means ensuring that you take reasonable steps to provide a safe environment for others. It's a simple definition for a complex practice that takes on many different forms in different situations. Liana shares personal stories to reveal how that care can be applied - and misapplied -in ways that can make a situation less safe and supportive than you intend. Ultimately, a reasonable duty of care means finding a balance between support and the respect of an individual’s autonomy. | 48m 37s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 164 - What Is "Reasonable Accommodation"? | The unfortunate occurrence at the BAFTA Awards, where an attendee who has Tourette's Syndrome shouted racial epithets at two Black award presenters (and the way BAFTA chose to handle that), has given prominence to the question of 'reasonable accommodation' of people with disabilities. Liana speaks with LJ, a brilliant scientist whose disability has deterred potential employers, about what he sees as reasonable accommodation and, importantly, how some well-meaning accommodations actually make things more difficult. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 163 - Are you (Accidentally) An A**hole? | Most of us try to be friendly, kind, supportive people. Yet all those things could be true and you still, inadvertently, say something that makes you look like a a*hole, and you don't even know why! Liana takes us through a journey of ways you may unintentionally be acting like an a*hole. | 48m 31s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 162 - Self Image and Media: Art, Culture, or Porn? | As a member of the Girls Gone Wild tour of the late 1990s Courtney Kocak had a front-row seat to the "good, clean fun" which that media was marketed as. Courtney also felt the impact of sexualized media, how it affected her self-image and sense of healthy femininity. Courtney, author of the forthcoming autobiography Girl Gone Wild, (https://www.courtneykocak.com/links) shares with Liana her experiences in the belly of the beast and how she turned her rocky journey into a chronicle that can help other women shed the mental conditioning of sexualized messaging. Also, has "prestige cinema" become indistinguishable from pornography? | 48m 35s | ||||||
| 2/26/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 161 - The Good News About AI and Mental Health | Many people fear that A.I. represent the end of our world as we know it. Liana sees A.I. for what it is - a tool that can be used for good or ill - and she relates her experiments with A.I. as a means of bettering our lives. Helping with "adulting"? Good. Helping to visualize emotions? Good. Replacing human connection with chatbots? Bad. While AI doesn't "think" or "feel," it can help take the terror out of engaging with the world. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 160 - Understanding A.I. and Mental Health | A.I. Artificial Intelligence. It's definitely the former and not the latter. What's being called "intelligence" does not actually think and the information and advice it offers can be not just wrong, but dangerous. Liana deconstructs how "AI" operates, shares the red flags to be aware of and how to reclaim your thoughts that AI has polluted. | 48m 35s | ||||||

| 2/12/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 159 - True Confidence | Confidence is about self-assuredness, self-acceptance and the strength to be flexible when facing challenges. What's being packaged as 'Confidence' in some quarters is the opposite - fear presented as bluster, extreme need for external validation and fragility projected as 'strength'. Liana lays out her personal journey for learning the difference between the two versions of confidence and how to spot and deal with those confusing ass-ertiveness for assuredness. | 48m 35s | ||||||
| 2/5/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 158 - Madness Misdiagnosed mp3 | While the overwhelming majority of mental health professionals listen closely to their patients and work diligently to provide the best in care, there are some whose attempts at healing lead to misdiagnosis with serious adverse effects. Liana talks to Benton Savage, author of the book "Wrong Side Out - Madness Misdiagnosed" about his experience with his mental illness being misdiagnosed, how such things happen, how he uncovered his actual condition and how you can learn from his experiences. | 48m 38s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 | ![]() It’s Not Therapy - Epi 157 - Bad Mental Health Advice... That's Totally Normal | If there's one thing you can find an endless free supply of, it's advice. Sometimes, that's a good thing. Other times, not as much. But how can you tell the good advice from the bad? And how do you know if the advice you're giving will help or hurt? Liana takes you through her 9 types of bad advice, in her first list of 2026! | 48m 34s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 156 - Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Exclusion Bullying | Gossip can be Educational!What can a gossipy celebrity moms' feud teach us all about the danger of throwing shade, the real pain of ostracism, toxic group dynamics and why husbands shouldn't immediately jump to publicly defend their wife? Liana ties the Ashley Tisdale/Hillary Duff/Mr. Hillary Duff/Mandy Moore blow-up to some darkly funny personal family experiences to illustrate all the above, and more! | 48m 35s | ||||||
| 1/8/26 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 155 - Resentment — Letting Go of the Weight You’re Carrying | Resentment is the feeling of having been wronged — by a person, a group, or a situation — and it often spins off into anger, bitterness, and indignation. Those emotions can quietly weigh us down, draining energy while doing nothing to heal what hurts. In this episode of It’s Not Therapy, Liana Kerzner opens up about her own personal history and struggles with resentment. With her signature blend of honesty, humour, and thoughtful reflection, Liana explores where resentment comes from, why it lingers, and how it can shape our reactions and relationships if left unchecked. This is not about suppressing feelings or forcing forgiveness. It’s about understanding resentment, connecting with it honestly, and learning how to release the burden it creates — so it stops running your emotional life. A compassionate, relatable conversation for anyone who’s ever felt stuck carrying anger they didn’t ask for — and are finally ready to put down. | 48m 40s | ||||||
| 12/19/25 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 154 - The Murder of Soleiman Faqiri: When the System Fails | In December 2016, Soleiman “Soli” Faqiri, a young man with schizoaffective disorder, was killed by jail guards in an Ontario correctional facility, despite a judge’s order for his transfer to a proper hospital. Bound, restrained with a spit hood, and suffering over 50 injuries, Soli’s death was ruled a homicide. A government inquiry later revealed serious procedural violations and issued recommendations to protect mentally ill prisoners—but two years later, none have been implemented, and no guards have been held accountable. In this episode, Soli’s brother Yusef Faqiri joins Liana to share their family’s fight for justice and systemic change. They discuss ongoing advocacy, the impact on the Faqiri family, and how Canadians can support efforts to reform the corrections system in Soli’s memory through Justice for Soli. | 48m 38s | ||||||

| 11/14/25 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 151 - What's Missing From Masculinity? | Be a Man! What is a "Man" in 2025?

| 11/7/25 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 150 - Just Stop! | STOP!How did you just react to reading that?

| 10/24/25 | ![]() It's Not Therapy - Epi 148 - Relationships: Rupture, & Repair | Very few people crave conflict (that's a whole other show) and most try to avoid it.
