Episode 4 - "In Your Feelings" with Jeff Guenther, LPC (Therapy Jeff) & Rebecca Fishbein (Bustle)

Indecent with Kiki Andersen

Are we all weak little babies who hide behind new age gibberish to avoid confrontation? Or is emotional intelligence our last line of defense in a soul-crushing, post-modern hellworld? Licensed therapist and mental health influencer Jeff Guenther & writer Rebecca Fishbein are here to answer those questions and maybe also talk us down off a ledge

His TikTok account featuring videos on mental health awareness has nearly 3 million followers. And he is the host of the Big Dating Energy and Problem Solved podcasts.
