This week on “Shrink This!,” Lisa waxes poetic on the nuanced subject of apologies. After spiraling over a 19-year-old she may or may not have offended, she and Nick debate about saying “I’m sorry” waaaaaay too frequently. Then, Lisa makes the case that being “non-confrontational” is just a cute way of saying, “I’m a huge p*ssy!” Listen now unless you’re too busy apologizing for existing.

n this episode, Lisa dives into the concept of geographic sobriety: the concept that getting the hell away fixes what ails ya. People run everywhere from Tucson to Timbuktu to avoid their family, their ex, and their internal angst. But does a location change truly help or is the old saying, “Wherever you go, there you are” actually the case? Lisa and Nick read letters from a listener who left her entire family behind to try to stay sane, and another who's thinking about loving her mom... from a safe distance over international waters. All aboard and bon voyage!

In another characteristically honest episode, Lisa goes off about the art of being alone, and whether it’s self-care, emotional shutdown, or just an excuse to avoid people. She and Nick unpack their complicated relationships with downtime, social guilt, and why it takes catching the flu to finally take a break. Then the duo reads letters from a “Real Housewives”-obsessed homebody and a single New Yorker who's trying to balance friendship with the urge to stay in bed forever.

In the Shrink This! premiere, Lisa Lampanelli dives headfirst into the big stuff– literally. She opens up about her own lifelong battle with body image, food obsession, weight loss surgery, and why she's officially over doing things "the hard way.” With help from her sidekick Nick, Lisa reads letters from listeners struggling with emotional eating, body acceptance, and that nagging feeling of being stuck… because nothing says “healing” like getting roasted and toasted by Lisa Lampanelli.

Lisa Lampanelli is back… and she’s got opinions. Comedy's former Queen of Mean may not be a licensed therapist, but that’s never stopped her from dishing out advice. So, after years of roasting celebs (and herself), the retired insult comic has decided it's time for her to help you shrink your problems, roast your bad decisions, and help you get your act together.

Each week, Lisa and her unpaid sidekick comedian Nick Scopoletti read letters from real people with real issues: mental health, body image, friendship, family, and why you’re still texting that loser. Every episode of "Shrink This!" is full of unfiltered wisdom, inappropriate jokes, a whole lotta heart, and ZERO B.S. Just when you thought counseling and straight talk had to be 100% serious, turns out it doesn't!
