How To Do Therapy Better with Dr. Mark Tanabe
You Are The Prize
A conversation about what makes therapy work and how to show up fully for it.
In this episode of You Are The Prize, we sit down with Dr. Mark Tanabe—Alex’s therapist—to get into the nonlinear path of growth and how to get more out of therapy by showing up honestly. We explore what shifts when you stop holding back, the many ways we can understand and meet our needs, and the importance of paying attention to the moments that move us. We also answer the inevitable question: does everyone actually need therapy?
