Episode 11- Wounded Healers: Guest Inga Larson on Being Raised by a Shrink

Send us Fan MailImagine sitting on the potty as a toddler, congratulating yourself on mastering the anal developmental phase. Yeah, I know, right? Welcome to Therapists IRL, Episode 11, where our special guest, Inga Larson--psychotherapist, life coach, and licensed massage therapist--shares her experiences being raised by her "shrink," aka psychiatrist father, who also happened to be a narcissist. With humor and grace, Inga opens up about all the complexities of living in a world where her dad seemed unable to take off his doctor's cap.  Never mind that he was a well-loved and respected professional...sometimes a girl just wants her dad to be a dad. With over 25 years of experience in the field (in addition to her exposure to mental health from day one through her father), Inga has a wealth of knowledge and experience.
