Emma is a genuine human being who truly loves her work. This podcast has been most helpful. Thank you so much.

This podcast is perfect for the ADHD brain in traffic. It helps me feel grounded and meditative rather than upset or lingering on details of the day.

Great information, an example of what a caring therapist should be and shares skills to help your healing journey

Emma! Thank you for your work. I have been looking for this for years. Now I have actions to take when the ANTs are trying to drive the bus. This episode was immensely helpful and I’m excited to listen to more. Your friendly tone and simple examples are just what I needed today.

The content looks great. The background noises in the episode I want to listen to as a trial make it actually impossible to listen to this podcast or take in any of the information. (ACT episode). They are very distracting, startling, and confusing and make it so that you’re paying attention to the background noise and not the actual podcast. Otherwise, looks great.

I appreciate much of what Emma has to say and have benefited from learning about CBT and other techniques to take our thoughts captive. However, most of her guests make me understand why some people are leery of therapists and counseling. One of her guest speakers was a proponent of going “no contact “ with family and I was extremely disappointed for Emma to sympathize and even suggest that this is a healthy way to deal with family conflict. There should be so very few cases when going “no contact” should happen, not disagreements over parenting. “No contact” is a cult tactic that scars all individuals and relationships struggle to heal for years if and when reconciliation is possible. Emma is fantastic; at least I appreciate what she puts out on a regular basis. I’d like her better if she would challenge what some of her guests say, but I assume, sadly, she must agree with them.

I am so grateful for your work. It has helped me immensely and I learn something new and valuable each time I listen to it Best podcast about mental health I have listened to. And I have some experience:).

Made my day better learning about avoidance issues. Really found this helpful and truly appreciate this therapists work. Would love if the episodes dumbed down how our brains work and there were recaps after the narrator explains it all: like a recap of 1-3 reasons we avoid and 1-3 examples of what to do today to fix it.

Emma talks to us as if she has known us personally. She emotes sincerity and conviction yet pushes no judgment. I am fortunate to have her wisdom available through a podcast. I just wish there were more as skilled and capable as Emma in prac.

I love the way you help us think about scenarios by the questions you ask. 🥰

SO grateful for Emma McAdam. I have been INHALING these podcasts, marveling about how such helpful, healing content is available and accessible for FREE. I have been recommending this podcast to everyone.

Thank you!!! You’re YouTube channel and podcast are so helpful!! Grateful for your support!

I love love love how short and straight to the point the episodes are. I’m very impatient and don’t like a long build up. I want the facts and what to do ASAP. Felt very personable and positive. Gained a follow!

Super helpful tools in a brief simple format

I found her on YouTube and have watched many of the videos. I am very happy to have found it on my podcast so now I can listen to it.

As always, excellent bite-sized practical tips and strategies for mental health! Thank you, Emma!

Definitely something I deal with! I’m 32 & have always dealt with this & im just realizing “if I make a system for everything, it’ll work” but it takes so much time & the way you made it so simple was amazing. Thank you! More of that please 🙏🏻

I am new to the therapy-sphere and was looking for free resources while I learned what kind of therapy might suit my needs related to anxiety. Emma’s straight forward, no-nonsense, kind and empathetic approach to therapy techniques has been life changing. Learning about negativity bias, avoidance and CBT (to name a few!) has made a huge difference in my mental health. I no longer feel alone in my experiences and I’m no longer scared of these sometimes overwhelming feelings. Quite literally, Emma has taught me how to get better at feeling and I’m so grateful. Also grateful that a lot of the material is free, but there’s an option to purchase courses if I want to go more in depth on any subject. Keep on keeping on, Emma, and thank you so very much! ~ L from Ohio

Honest, direct, and straightforward. I really like this podcast!!!

I recently found this podcast and started to really do a deep dive on it after listening to a couple of episodes! I’ve even taken some of the content I’ve learned here and shared it with my clients. So if you’re looking to improve your mental health, check out this podcast!

Love her work. I especially enjoy how she uses spirituality with therapeutic insight to bring integration within our soul!!

This podcast is well done with a lot of good, current and helpful information.

You share so much rich and helpful information for free. I can only imagine the gems your courses hold. Your hard work shows!

I wish I could be more articulate, but I don’t have language yet. I cannot believe how long it took me to catch that this practitioner was using their role as a therapist, and contact with people seeking therapy content, to promote their religious beliefs. The proselytizing is on every episode page, linking to LDS content about believing in Christ, etc. I should have heeded the red flag that they are choosing to continue promoting BetterHelp after they were exposed. If someone wants to use the privilege of this role to influence others with regions content, that should be overt, clear and not buried. It’s incredible that more people aren’t alarmed by this.

I am so thrilled that I stumbled across Emma’s podcast! I am a mental health therapist and I find these podcasts an amazing supplement, not only to enhance my client’s work outside of the office, but give me new ways to discuss difficult topics in new and easily understood way. She also helps me with my own stuff😉 Thank you so much! Debbie

Great information, immediately useful

A friend recommended these YouTube videos, and as soon as I watched one, I binged on the others and found the podcast. I've tried therapy for my anxiety, and just haven't found anyone that was practically able to help me. This therapist is practical and so good at explaining things.

Not mentioning this is common side effects of anxiety disorders. This is why doctors should only be on podcasts about mental health.

Very helpful. I always walk away with something to help me grow.

Really good solid advice. I recommend this podcast to others. Great nuggets.

The best mental health podcast out there. Great advice

As a seasoned mental health therapist, I find the continent to be spot on, and very easy to digest. However, I was dismayed and disheartened when I heard an ad with BetterHelp as the sponsor. With everything that has come to light about their business practices (ie- selling client data), and how they treat and pay their therapists, I really hope that the show host and team will reconsider their partnership with betterhelp.

This is by far the best mental health podcast. Thank YOU so much for what you do and who you are. You make the world a better place and help so many of us. ❤️

You’ve helped me so much.

Emma does a fantastic job. I’m a very social person, but I’ve always struggled with overthinking and social anxiety. I self-coped all the way through high school, until the first time I listened to this podcast Emma was spot on. She perfectly described things I didn’t notice I already do to help myself, and explained more of what I can do to live in the moment and enjoy this one life I have. Thank you, this is the perfect Therapy in a Nutshell!

I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for a long time. This podcast gives things that have actually helped me. I like that she references actual studies.

Emma you have a special gift to be able to make such complex issues understandable and achievable, thanks!

Thank you Emma, for sharing your experience and knowledge. You help one understand attitudes in a simple and logical way. It’s helping very much. I share it with people I know will benefit. God bless you and your growing family.

This podcast is so practical and helpful. Highly recommend!

You’ll find it here ….Thank you Emma !

I’ve listened to more episodes than I can count. I always send them to my family and friends. It’s quick and so informative. One of my favorite episodes is guess culture vs ask culture. It literally changed how I react to people! So helpful!

I just discovered Therapy in a Nutshell recently and I’m almost through all the episodes. They have been so helpful! When are you going to release new ones?? Please tell me there will be more!

Thank you. Your show has helped me and my husband so much.

What I've noticed is that Emma is direct & to the point, titles her episodes accurately, gives several real life examples of mental health strategies per episode, and maybe most importantly, she has a calm and comforting style of communication. You can almost see her smile as you listen. I only wish I would've come across her podcast in 2019, so that I could have the tools I needed to process and overcome anxiety. Thank you, Emma. At times, I wish you were my go-to personal Therapist, but this podcast will have to do. God bless your adventure as you help others learn how their minds and bodies were created to work in harmony for growth, health and community.

Nice podcast

Emma is down to earth and provides relatable examples. I liked the episode about self-limiting beliefs and that even positive labels we put on ourselves may be harmful. Especially if we rely on it for self-confidence. Thank you for your insights!

So glad I discovered this podcast- it has helped me so much! Feels like I have a therapist whenever I need help. Calming voice and wonderful advice for so many situations. Everyone should listen to this!!! Thank you so much 💙 My only request is maybe talk a little more slowly

She really is a wonderful teacher. I always come away with something useful!

What she teaches rings true for me, I just hope she makes more episodes!

I stumbled onto this channel by looking for anxiety podcasts. Finally someone that teaches skills on how to heal it. Thank you, thank you!!
