Reality Therapy
Ryan Rogers
Reality Therapy is a podcast about how reality itself can be therapeutic. While I touch on a variety of topics with many interesting guests, I am primarily focused on the therapy profession. Most guests are therapists or graduate students who focus on observing and analyzing the influence of social justice ideology on this field.
