Secondhand Therapy is a funny, honest mental health podcast where two unlicensed best friends unpack their weekly therapy sessions. Join Louie Paoletti and Michael Malone as they explore anxiety, ADHD, grief, masculinity, and emotional growth—with humor, heart, and total transparency. Each episode blends raw self-reflection with real time takes on therapy, trauma, relationships, and the messy process of healing. It’s real talk about mental health in the modern world, and why personal growth is so damn hard.

Give this a listen and you’ll see that these guys get it. It’s so nice to hear men like this talk about feelings. Not always trying to hard to be right, but trying to be better and honest!

I have hope for mankind when I listen to these two. By talking about their internal struggles they are normalizing men expressing pain and sadness. This is the way boys should be raised. All the men that complain that women won’t date them should pay attention and do the same.

I really enjoy listening to these guys go through it. They’re real and open about situations most would run away from. However, if mouth sounds bother you this isn’t the pod for you.
kaleighmichelle92 · Dec 2024
People who are looking for therapy advice please go to therapy! Don’t listen if you are expecting someone to tell you what to do. It’s not a one size fits all. This is what is working for them. Might not for you.
This is a truly a phenomenal podcast. I’m not looking for advice, but I love their relationship and they are helping to normalize therapy. I also wish more men their age would listen and think hey, these are just guys going through it like me, maybe I can go to therapy too!
Anyway, I listen because two people are being vulnerable with each other (and strangers!) and it’s beautiful!
Hopeonarope · Oct 2024
I had high hopes for this podcast, but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. The episodes often feel disjointed and lack a clear direction, making it hard to follow and stay engaged. The hosts sometimes seem unprepared, and the advice given often feels generic and uninspired. Not to mention their dynamic feels more like a bully and victim rather than friends, which makes for an uncomfortable listening experience. I was hoping for a podcast that would offer meaningful therapy insights, but Secondhand Therapy left me feeling more frustrated than helped. There are definitely better options out there for those seeking genuine and impactful mental health advice.
