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

A year ago, on January 7th, my house burned down. 

This solo episode is a reflection on what that loss revealed — not just about grief, but about meaning, identity, and the quiet permission to live differently in the second half of life. 

I talk about the difference between a house and a home, what it means to lose community, and why starting over isn’t always a failure — sometimes it’s prescribed. From standing in the ashes of my cul-de-sac to building a slower, more intentional life in Costa Rica, this episode explores how tragedy can become an act break instead of an ending. 

This episode is for anyone who feels tired of grinding, restless in their current life, or quietly sensing that the second half deserves a rewrite. You don’t have to burn your life down to change it — but sometimes life lights the match for you.

12 Powerful Questions to Ask Yourself for 2026

In this episode of the video course, we explore one of the most powerful concepts in personal transformation: unlocking your inner code.

You’ll learn how your false beliefs, old stories, and disconnected parts of self quietly shape your life — and how to rebuild a stronger, safer inner container that allows you to grow instead of staying stuck.

Through storytelling, real-life examples, and practical reflection prompts, John walks you through:

What You'll Learn:

 How false beliefs form and how they silently run your life

 Why dissolving them requires experience, not just mindset

 How to reconnect with the parts of you you’ve abandoned over time

 Why growth is a lifelong reunion with your inner self

 How to create a life container that supports expansion, confidence, and purpose

Reflection Questions

 What false beliefs are cracking your life container?

 How are these beliefs rippling into your relationships, work, and self-esteem?

 What new experience can you give your body to prove the belief wrong?

 What part of you have you disconnected from?

 What would it look like to reunite with that version of you?

This Episode Is For You If…

✔ You want to break patterns

✔ You want to feel more alive

✔ You’re ready to meet yourself again

✔ You want to grow without self-judgment

✔ You’re doing the work and want deeper tools

 What “higher frequencies” actually mean

 How to pull yourself out of lower emotional states

 The difference between chasing and attracting

How to Shift Into an Attracting Life

This episode is about the parts of ourselves we don’t easily name.

In Part 2, we explore unspoken hurt, projection, scarcity, envy, anger, and intimacy — and how these experiences shape the way we show up in relationships and in our work.

We talk honestly about using productivity and helping others as a shield, the lingering fear that success doesn’t erase, and the protective parts we built long ago that may no longer serve us.

This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about recognizing what’s actually running the room.

A conversation for anyone willing to sit with truth — even when it’s uncomfortable.

21 Questions You Should Ask Your Therapist with Lair Torrent - PART 2

This episode is about what happens when we slow down and ask the questions that don’t come with neat answers.

In an honest and reflective conversation, we explore the inner world behind the therapist’s role — the places where healing is still unfolding, emotions are still complicated, and vulnerability still matters.

We talk about being seen in relationship, struggling with sadness and anger, the pull between authenticity and edge, and how early experiences shape the way we show up in life, love, and work.

This isn’t a lesson. It’s a conversation.

A reminder that healing doesn’t require perfection — only presence, honesty, and a willingness to stay with what’s real.

If you’re on your own journey of self-understanding, this episode meets you there.

21 Questions You Should Ask Your Therapist with Lair Torrent - PART 1

In this episode of Hard Things to Bring Up in Therapy, we sit down with the questions people are often too afraid to ask out loud — the ones about love, loss, sex, shame, attachment, boredom, longing, and the quiet fear that maybe something is wrong with us.

From wondering why “healthy love” feels boring after toxicity… to grieving a breakup someone else moved on from too quickly… to asking how often long-term couples should be intimate… to questioning why we attract emotionally unavailable partners… to the messy, human moments around sex, desire, loneliness, and readiness.

These are the things we carry alone. This episode sets them down in the open.

Why This Episode Matters

These aren't just questions — they’re emotional crossroads.Most people bring them into therapy last, if ever.But naming them is the beginning of healing, clarity, and choosing differently.

Perfect For You If…

 You’re in a season of confusion about love or relationships

 You’re healing from a breakup

 You’re dating but frustrated by your patterns

 You want a healthier relationship with intimacy and connection

 You’re afraid to ask the questions that matter most

Listen Now

Every question in this episode is a doorway. Step through.
