Description:

In this raw, unfiltered reflection, John shares the real story behind going rogue as a therapist — from coffee-shop sessions to walk-and-talks, to breaking every rule therapy school ever taught him.

He explores the lifelong pattern of exchanging truth for membership, the fear of being seen, and the moment one client validated everything he was terrified to try.

This episode dives into authenticity, boundaries, regret, responsibility, and what it really means to help people while staying human yourself.

Key Themes & Takeaways:

  • Why authenticity often feels like rebellion
  • The moment validation becomes a catalyst
  • The battle between honesty and belonging
  • The emotional cost of doing therapy differently
  • The blurry line between helping and harming
  • The evolving role of therapists in a social media world
  • Why growth is abstract, nonlinear, and deeply personal
