As a therapist and an enjoyer of characters who should go to therapy, here’s what I think the Bad Kids would be like if they actually went to therapy.
Riz: Fidgeting SO HARD. Sometimes seems to love a fidget toy so much that you tell him he can keep it. You keep buying more fidget toys just for him. Every week his GAD-7 is a 19 and when you ask how he’s feeling he says, “Great!”
Fabian: Surprisingly easy. Instant rapport, responds to softballs like “do you think maybe you feel that way because your parents put a lot of pressure on you” as though they were profound revelations.
Gorgug: Does not take his headphones off, somehow completely present and engaged even though you can literally hear his music.
Adaine: Extremely impatient with the process. Wants to learn 5 cool tricks for not being anxious anymore and then bounce. Becomes accusatory when it isn’t “working” after a few sessions.
Fig: Spends the first 12 sessions alternately trying to shock you, asking increasingly specific questions about your reporting requirements (“would you have to report it if I murdered someone? what if a friend’s dad gave me drugs?”), and asking questions about the therapist to avoid talking about herself.
Kristen: Breathwork every single session. Major Crisis of the Week vibes. Reliably drops a huge bomb that changes everything in the last five minutes of session. (Fun fact: some therapists call this “door handling”.)

So, some bad news: Ep. 25's fireside chat will be released this Friday instead of the usual Tuesday.
The good news: This is because CAMP is happening again at the end of the week, and we wanted to record it while everyone was together in one room! Yay!
So in the meantime, be sure to get those juicy fireside questions in: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-25-fsc-103285549
Thank you for your patience, and we'll see you all by the fireside this Friday!
