In this episode, Jakob and Johanne reflect on the It’s Complicated tour and share what they've learned—about the joys of slow, community-rooted growth, the rise of AI in therapy, and why staying human matters more than ever. From therapist concerns about disappearing client referrals to the ethics of digital twins, we ask: how do we differentiate real connection from artificial care?

In this episode of A Complicated Story, Jakob and Johanne reconnect after navigating the challenge of living in different countries with mismatched school holidays. They catch up on recent endeavours —Jakob’s time in Stockholm, updates on the It’s Complicated conference agenda, and reflections on what "manifestos" mean to them. Tune in for thoughtful conversations, personal insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at their ongoing work with It’s Complicated.

In this episode of A Complicated Story, Jakob and Johanne reflect on building It’s Complicated with a community-focused approach, an ethos that hit an all-time high with the recent completion of their community fundraise.

Tune in for honest insights and a collaborative spirit.

In this episode we grapple with three different questions. What's a therapist community? How does It's Complicated help practitioners to find not only their patients but also their peers? How will AI-therapy effect our work?

This episode was recorded in three different locations at our It's Complicated tour to Barcelona and found its inspiration from talking to and meeting with the therapists in the local community.

In this episode we discuss the essential question of how to grow a private practice and getting leads. Is an entrepreneurial spirit necessary? How does one individuate professionally and find one's unique niche?
