My Therapist Hates You

My Therapist Hates You is a weekly podcast where two long-distance best friends unpack their biggest breakthroughs, worst dating disasters, and most questionable life choices—with humor, heart, and a little bit of chaos. Hosted by Carly and Hannah, this show is for anyone navigating modern mental health, queer identity, and the emotional hangover of being a millennial woman in late-stage capitalism. If you’ve ever overanalyzed a text with your therapist, cried in a bar bathroom, or said “I’m working on it” while making it worse—this show is for you.

In the season one finale of My Therapist Hates You, we get radically honest about what it’s meant to launch a queer millennial mental health podcast filled with unfiltered stories, dating chaos, trauma recovery, and laughter. We reflect on the top listener-favorite episodes—from coming out late in life and car nostalgia to Philly pride, gatekeeping in queer spaces, narcissistic trauma bonds, and emotionally mangled dating attempts.This behind-the-scenes episode covers:The unexpected impact of going public with our livesListener feedback that moved us to tears (and DMs from butch dykes)Why we shelved early episodes and how Riverside ruined our jokesUnscripted friendship dynamics, healing through storytelling, and learning to talk on micWhat’s next for season two (age-gap relationships, millennial flaking, guest moms, and bisexual bumper stickers)Find Hannah's short story here:https://pbqmag.org/hannah-litvin-rugsweeping-and-other-lost-arts/Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes:⁠patreon.com/mytherapisthatesyouFollow us on all the things:⁠https://www.instagram.com/mytherapisthatesu/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapisthatesyoupod⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MTHYPod⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyTherapistHatesYouKeywords: queer podcast, season finale, LGBTQ mental health, coming out stories, narcissistic abuse recovery, late-in-life lesbian, butch dyke culture, Philly queer scene, podcast editing struggles, trauma bonding, bisexual representation, queer storytelling, millennial podcast, feminist memoir, podcast behind the scenes

What does it mean to date while autistic or live with ADHD in a relationship? In part 2 of 2 of our neurodivergence series, we unpack the emotional highs and hidden costs of loving—and being loved—with a neurodivergent brain. We talk about being miscast as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, “coming out” as autistic on dates, sensory accommodations that show real care, and why neurodivergent folks are more vulnerable to abusive dynamics. We also share how routines aren’t rigidity, how ADHD forgetfulness isn’t disrespect, and what it looks like when someone truly gets your brain.Keywords for searchability: autism and dating, ADHD relationships, neurodivergent love, sensory overload, masking, emotional abuse and autism, manic pixie dream girl, neurodivergent mental health podcastOlivia Gatwood- “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”Luke Grosch- InstagramSupport us on Patreon for bonus episodes:⁠patreon.com/mytherapisthatesyouFollow us on all the things:⁠https://www.instagram.com/mytherapisthatesu/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapisthatesyoupod⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MTHYPod⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyTherapistHatesYou

In this raw and resonant episode, Carly and Hannah unpack the fraught realities of lesbian gatekeeping—especially toward late-in-life baby gays. Carly shares her powerful story of coming out in her 30s and the harm caused by exclusionary attitudes within the queer community, including an abusive relationship that fed on internalized shame. Together, they explore how gatekeeping intersects with trauma, disability, and the pressure to “prove” queerness. Plus, they close with some much-needed levity: lesbian fashion smash or pass. This episode is part memoir, part manifesto, and all heart.

They open up about "freedom cars"—the vehicles that helped them escape toxic relationships or unsafe environments—and what those moments taught them about autonomy, class, and survival.If you’ve ever named your car, slept in your car, or coasted on empty for too long—this episode is for you.Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes:⁠patreon.com/mytherapisthatesyouFollow us on all the things:⁠https://www.instagram.com/mytherapisthatesu/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapisthatesyoupod⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MTHYPod⁠
