About this episode
The episode features an interview with therapist Barry Fell discussing the impact and perceptions of therapy.
Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, welcome back to the show. Today my guest is Barry Fell, LCSW, who’s not only a seasoned therapist but also the author of a pretty eye-opening book called Therapy: A Life-changer, A Lifestyle, Or a Waste of Time. In it, Barry digs into the real questions a lot of us have about therapy but don’t always say out loud—does it actually change your life, does it just become a routine, or can it sometimes feel like a waste of time? With over 20 years of experience in the field, Barry’s seen it all, and he’s not afraid to be honest about what works and what doesn’t. We’re going to dive into his story, his insights, and maybe challenge a few assumptions along the way.Get the book here: https://tinyurl.com/2zpd6jj4Get his other book: rb.gy/4zp61j #Therapy #LMFT #BarryFellLCSW #Telos
