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 episode, licensed therapist John Kim takes you inside his personal journey of building a new life in Costa Rica - the highs, the lows, and the unexpected lessons about presence, clarity, and decision-making. From nausea-inducing dirt roads to perfect mornings surfing in Costa Rica, John unpacks how life-changing decisions aren’t made in one big moment… but in a collection of small ones.

You’ll learn:

 Why clarity about life, love, and career comes from moments, not constant certainty

 How to notice and “bank” the moments that matter when deciding whether to move abroad, who to love, or what path to take

 The challenges of living in Costa Rica - from unpaved roads to missing city comforts and the surprising joys that outweigh them

 How being present is the only way to truly capture moments (and how most of us miss them)

 Why life’s “yes” often comes from an accumulation of tiny affirmations rather than a single sign

Join the conversation! What moments have shaped your biggest life decisions? Have you noticed when your “piggy bank” of yeses finally tipped the scale? Share your story with us.

Sh*t You Wouldn’t Ask Your Therapist | The Truth About Breakups

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim gets personal about the mother wound - how it quietly shapes our self-worth, love life, and sense of safety. From a surprising MDMA journey insight to stories about his Korean-American upbringing, John unpacks what it’s like to grow up without emotional warmth from mom - and how this absence leaves lasting imprints on both men and women.

You’ll learn:

 Why the mother wound isn’t just a “women’s issue”

 How emotional absence can be just as impactful as physical absence

 The different ways the mother wound shows up in men (approval seeking, caretaking confusion, fear of intimacy) and women (perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, boundary struggles)

 How it fuels unhealthy patterns like codependency, attachment insecurity, and emotional projection

 Practical steps for healing: naming the wound without blame, reparenting yourself, rewriting old relationship scripts, and doing inner child work
