  • Summary

  • Is Traditional Therapy Failing Entrepreneurs?

    Therapy is an invaluable tool—but is it always the best fit for high performers, founders, and creatives? In this episode, Dr. Sherry Walling shares her honest critique of traditional psychotherapy, highlighting five key concerns:

    The Pathology Trap – Why therapy often focuses on diagnosing problems instead of amplifying strengths.
    It Takes Too Long – Why conventional therapy can be slow-moving and how alternative approaches, like psychedelics, may be more effective for rapid breakthroughs.
    Hyper-Focus on Hurt – How therapy can make people more sensitive to pain without equipping them to move forward.
    The Risk of Self-Absorption – When therapy over-validates personal experiences without placing them in a larger context of relationships and responsibilities.
