This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the a**hole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about any number of things! Stay tuned through the end to find out!

Today, they are joined by Dr. Sheena Sikorski. She is a licensed psychologist who is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and can see clients in over 40 other states. Her virtual private practice focuses on helping Millennial and Gen Z women heal from perfectionism and people-pleasing. She helps her clients learn how to tame their inner critic, so they finally feel confident they're worthy of love and connection without constantly overworking, saying "yes" when they mean to say "no," and seeking reassurance from others before making decisions. Her clients appreciate her compassion, honesty, and humor in their work together, along with the tangible tools they walk away with, after completing therapy.
