Friends With Your Therapist

Oh, Hi! Welcome to FRIENDS With Your Therapist, the rewatch podcast where we deep dive into all the things a therapist would have thoughts/said if the gang had gone to therapy. And no, dating a shrink doesn’t count, Phoebe. I’m your licensed therapist host, Sarah Hessing. I currently work at a small practice with individuals, couples, and families, and I’m an adjunct professor at Boise State University. Until BSU lets me teach a course on the psychology of FRIENDS, I’ll be here for you. Let’s get

S1 E10: The One Where I Can't Make You Love Me

Friends With Your Therapist ·

2025/05/16

Here's me pretending I didn't take 2 (maybe 3) weeks off and then show up like nothing happened. And ready to jump into S1 E10 The One With the Monkey! But more accurately, a commentary on how we show up in relationships with no ability to overtake someone else's autonomy. Ross experiences this first hand when he adopts a monkey and finds that building a bond is tougher than he expects. Phoebe experiences this when she meets her Scientist Guy, David, and he's faced with choosing love or his life's

2025/04/23

Welcome back friend! This week Monica throws together her first Friendsgiving, and it's giving "at least I tried" energy. In her efforts to meet everyone else's needs, she is thwarted when the gang gets locked out of her apartment and all her hard work goes up in flames. Literally. This episode also features Ross's persistent distain for Susan, Joey's new fame as the face of venereal disease, and Rachel missing her flight to Vail for her family ski trip. In the end, the

S1 E8: The One With Death, Toxic Parents, and Gaydar

2025/04/11

Welcome to Friends With Your Therapist where we talk about Season 1 Episode 8, The One Where Nana Dies Twice. Naturally, we're going to talk about death and grief. Honestly, we should have spent the entire episode debriefing on death and dying. There's so much to unpack and we only explore the tip of the iceberg. But Nana didn't die twice just for us to sulk the whole time. She wouldn't have wanted that. So, we also have to talk about generational transmission of traits (for better

Welcome back to Friends With Your Therapist, Season 1 Episode 7, The One With the Blackout. In this episode, New York City has a blackout that traps Chandler in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre. Meanwhile, the gang gathers at Monica's. Ross tries to gain the courage to ask out Rachel but is thwarted by a cat, who we learn belongs to Rachel's next love interest, Paolo. Sorry, Ross (but also not sorry).We dive into embarrassment and the science of attraction. Fair warning, this episode may

Friends With Your Therapist ·

2025/03/27

Ok, friends! Welcome to today's episode from season 1 episode 6 The One With the Butt. This week's episode was full of great topics for us to overanalyze. So best a believe, I took a deep dive into Chandler's relationship with Aurora, Monica's neurotic behaviors, and butt stuff. Just so my mom doesn't have a heart attack, I don't mean that kind of butt stuff. You'll just have to listen. I don't want to spoil some [possibly] brilliant writing in the show. Also, Ross

S1 E5: The One With the East German Laundry Detergent

Friends With Your Therapist ·

2025/03/23

Welcome to the one where we talk about the debatable reasons it's better to be a woman--but it would be kind of nice to be a man and benefit from the patriarchy, the etiquette of break ups (spoiler, do NOT ghost someone after a date!), and laundry. It's never just laundry, friends. Now, did the writers of this episode mean for it to be this deep? No. But put on your scuba gear and get ready to deep dive.Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode, because apparently I

S1 E4: The One With George Stephanopoulos

Friends With Your Therapist ·

2025/03/14

More accurately, the one where your therapist friend, Sarah Hessing, talks about existentialism and nerds out about what medical journals say about sexual activity & number of sexual partners. There's a lot to get into, and we didn't even get to talk about Voyeurism (aka. peeping toms)! But I'm sure we'll get a chance based on the gang's proclivity for watching strangers from across the street with binoculars.So, fold your laundry, clean up your ratchet winter backyard, or go

Friends With Your Therapist ·

2025/03/05

Welcome back friends! Today we’re diving into addiction (on and off screen), karma, and why Monica can’t just be with a great guy. Oh, and Phoebe finds a thumb in a soda can. How did it get there? Not important. What are the odds that you’ll find a thumb in your soda can? Apparently not zero, according to this episode. So put on some walking shoes and go for a walk, or get started on the laundry, because we’ve got a lot to talk about. Don’t forget to like and subscribe, and for the true friends,

Welcome back to Friends with Your Therapist, the rewatch podcast. Today we dive into The One with the Sonogram at the End. I go over some principles of Family Systems Theory and how Ross and Monica fit into their family system.

Oh hello, and welcome to the first official full length episode of Friends With Your Therapist! Today we're deep diving into the meaning of friendship according to FRIENDS, financially separating from your parents, and impotence (thanks Paul). We'll wrap up with some of the thought their therapist would have if this had been the content of their weekly therapy session. Seriously.
