The Angry Therapist

Audio-Only Episodes. Captain’s Log: No guests. No fluff. Just me, the mic, and whatever’s clawing at my insides. Think audio journaling meets back-of-the-bar confessions. Less psychobabble, more soul bleed. Raw, real, and mostly for me.

Audio + Video Episodes. You ask, I riff. Therapy meets real talk. More structure, more insight, more of the good stuff on love, dating, and tools we need to build a healthy relationship. Awesome guests. Less navel-gazing, more crowd-serving. This one’s for you.

The Angry Therapist Podcast

In this module, we explore why healthy love can feel unfamiliar — even uncomfortable — when your nervous system is used to chaos or stress. You’ll learn how your brain adapts to emotional environments, why joy can feel out of reach, and how tiny moments of safety can transform your entire relational world.

What you’ll learn: 

 Why calm love can initially feel “flat” 

 How repetition compulsion shows up in attraction 

 The neuroscience behind your default mode network 

 Why joy can feel unsafe — and how to rebuild access to it 

 How tiny daily joys create enormous emotional change 

 The difference between excitement and emotional intensity 

 How to build a relationship that feels grounded, stable, and deeply connected

This module is all about expanding your capacity for joy, hope, and relational peace — one small moment at a time.

How Safety Becomes Love: Rewiring Your Nervous System for Connection

In this module of the video course, we explore why we repeat the same relationship patterns — even when we know they’re not good for us — and how understanding your emotional wiring can shift everything.

You’ll learn:

 Why familiar relationships feel magnetic (even when they hurt)

 How early belonging shapes adult attraction

 The difference between healthy excitement and chaos

 How to navigate triggers with someone instead of alone

 Why healing happens in relationship, not isolation

 How to rewire your patterns with compassion instead of shame

This episode is a reminder that your patterns aren’t failures — they’re information. And once you understand them, you can create the relationships you’ve always deserved.

How Shaka Senghor Turned His Life Into a Beacon of Hope - Part 1

In this episode, we explore the questions people are often afraid to ask out loud — the confusing, intimate, and deeply human moments that shape our relationships. From wondering if you’ve ever truly been in love, to navigating sticky boundaries, to deciding whether to stay or leave… we’re going there.

Hard Things to Bring Up in Therapy: The Honest, Human Side of Love.

This episode is an excerpt from our video course module on understanding trauma and the nervous system.

In it, we break down trauma in a way that finally makes sense.

You’ll learn why trauma isn’t about the “big event,” but about unbearable emotional experiences without a relational home — and why your brain responds exactly the way it does.

Understanding Your Triggers: The Science That Sets You Free

 The abrupt ending and why it hit so hard

 Abandonment wounds, leadership, and rupture-repair

 The magic of the community they built together

 Why therapists are human, vulnerable, and messy too

 What they’re taking with them into the next chapter

When Your Partner Can’t Meet Your Needs… Do You Stay or Go?

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

Going Rogue: The Truth About Becoming Yourself

In today’s Q&A, we get into the real questions people ask when they’re standing at the edge of a relationship crossroads. When you’re torn between fear and intuition… when the attraction feels off… when you’re trying to communicate your way through a situationship… when you’re healing but also craving connection… when you don’t know if you’re choosing someone, settling for someone, or staying because it feels safer than leaving.

These are the moments where the truth gets loud — if you’re willing to listen.
