Your Therapist Needs Therapy

Your Therapist Needs Therapy 111 - Good Riddance to James Dobson

Jeremy Schumacher

This week Jeremy celebrates the death of awful human, James Dobson. James Dobson built Focus on the Family into one of the most powerful engines of evangelical control, peddling authoritarian parenting, rigid gender roles, and relentless attacks on queer people. His so-called “biblical counseling” left generations with shame, fear, and deep religious trauma that still echoes today. F*ck him and f*ck his work, around here we celebrate when bad people die. 

 As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com

Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.
