About this listen

Inside the biggest scandal in the history of America’s $40 billion drug recovery industry: a predatory Malibu rehab guru - and the fearless female patient who exposed his empire of deceit.

Chris Bathum was a respected therapist, addiction specialist, and founder of one of the fastest-growing rehabilitation chains in America. But Bathum was a total fraud: he was a homicidal meth-head with a history of sexually abusing his patients, scamming insurance companies, and eliminating whistle-blowers. Like Rose Stahl. But this intended victim would be his last. Stahl would risk her life to bring down the monster she and so many other people in need had once trusted for their salvation.

Evan Wright’s Bad Therapist is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be listened to in a single astonished sitting.

I enjoy listening to podcasts as I work at my desk . This was an easy read that allowed me to work along while listening. I was not a fan of the narrators impersonations, but otherwise I quite enjoyed the story. I would recommend this podcast

An easy listen

Reader needs to work on his voices. Especially female voices. Was kind of comical but still a good read.

Good story

this was an okay story. it could have been more suspenseful, I think they revealed too much from the beginning. however it's still interesting and it was a great price.

I finished this in one session. The narration was funny, especially the weird voices of the female characters. Had me chuckle a lot.

Fascinating story

It was well written and easy to follow but I really didn’t like the narrator doing voices for everyone, especially the women. It cheapened their roll in the story and it sounded like he was mocking them, it was hard to take it seriously. I only kept listening because I wanted the information. Sorry Neil, I’m sure you’re a nice dude.

Good story but…
