Edge of the Couch

Edge of the Couch is a rare gem in the world of therapy podcasts—thoughtful, unfiltered, and deeply human. What sets it apart is the way the hosts dive into the real, raw experiences of being a therapist, especially in those early, vulnerable years of practice. They don’t shy away from the complexities and messiness of the therapeutic relationship, and their conversations feel like you’re sitting in on a coffee shop chat between honest friends who get it. It’s not just informative; it’s affirming. Whether you’re a new therapist or a seasoned one needing a reminder that you’re not alone, this podcast is a must-listen. Only thing I would love to see is more inclusion of resources such as books,articles, and studies that delve even deeper into the topics.

Love this show— highly recommend! Not only do I learn a lot from this podcast, it also has helped me me develop my own opinions and approach to the therapeutic process. Thank you Allison and Jordan!

Love love love this pod! I started listening my first semester in grad school for mental health counseling and now I’m about to graduate. This podcast really helped to ground my learning in a more realized way, and got to address some of the stuff I had wondering about but never really had the space for in classes. I love the perspectives shared and the care and consideration for each and every conversation! I joined you on the edge of the couch!

I love listening to their honest opinions about therapy and navigating being a good therapist. I’ve learned so much, and feel so much more educated going into the field than before when I hadn’t listened to it. Sending love from south Texas!
