Is Therapy Frustrating? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Has therapy ever been frustrating for you?

Is the purpose of therapy to just dig up junk from your past?

And is it possible to find healers that can really help you move forward?

Today Alyson and I talk about why many folks — including therapists we know and love — find the conventional form of therapy to be limiting. We discuss why she forged her own path instead of continuing as a licensed therapist. And we discuss ways to find healers that can serve you best.

In this conversation:

  • What’s the purpose of healing?
  • Why conventional therapy can be frustrating even to therapists
  • Where and why conventional therapy is limited by regulations
  • Fixating on our wounds vs moving forward
  • Psychedelics and therapy
