Two Therapists Unplugged

Episode 3 - Burning Out? #ThisIsFine

In this episode of Two Therapists Unplugged, we talk about burnout — what it really looks like, why so many people are experiencing it right now, and how over-functioning and productivity culture contribute to emotional exhaustion. We explore the difference between stress and burnout, why high achievers are especially vulnerable, and how rest, boundaries, and reducing responsibility can help restore energy and balance. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re running on empty, this conversation is for you.

Episode 2 - Is AI Replacing Therapy?

In this episode of Two Therapists Unplugged, we explore the growing role of AI in mental health — from therapy chatbots and emotional support apps to people turning to AI for advice, validation, and connection. We break down why so many people — especially younger generations — feel comfortable opening up to technology, and where it can be helpful. We also talk about the limitations of AI, the risks of emotional over-reliance, and why real human connection still matters. We briefly discuss real-world incidents involving AI and mental health to highlight the importance of boundaries and safety when using digital tools. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already using AI for support, this conversation will help you think more intentionally about how technology fits into your emotional life. 🎧 Listen now and let us know your thoughts. *We want to note that we’ll briefly mention a real-world incident involving suicide in the context of AI use. If this topic is sensitive for you, please take care while listening. If you’re struggling, support is available. **If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please call or text 988 (U.S.) or contact local emergency services.
