Freud To Now

How To Tell If Therapy Is Actually Helping You

“Therapy: A Sherpa, Not a Life Sentence 🏔️🧠” Look — therapy has come a long way since Freud’s pipe dreams and dusty couches. In this episode, we’re unpacking how it evolved into the modern toolbox it should be — and how you can sniff out whether your therapist is actually helping you climb the mountain… or just selling you a tent at basecamp. Here’s the truth: Not everyone needs therapy, and it’s not supposed to be a life sentence. A good therapist is like a Sherpa — they guide, they give you the tools, they help you haul your emotional baggage up that peak. But it’s you who has to do the climbing. You want to sit around for 10 years complaining about the same thing? You’re wasting your money and your mind. My goal? I want you to get the most out of it, if you choose it. Know when to lean in, when to move on, and how to tell if your guide is legit — or just a grifter nodding for $200 an hour. Stay sharp. Use the tools. And remember: you carry the backpack, not them.
