We are back to review a new show that is making splashes in the therapy (and non-therapy world): Shrinking. We are joined with two special guests today: Licensed Clinical Psychologist and movie-lover, Dr. Terri Bly, and our resident grief expert, Erin Opoku, LMFT. What do therapists think of this show (so far) and what are the ethical issues we see? Watch to find out!
