Psychoanalysis: On the Couch with TherapyJeff and Family Ghosts

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, August 16, 2026 • Duration 56:49

What drives us to compulsively search for criticism, obsess over hate comments, and reopen old wounds? In our premiere episode of Breaking Down, hosts Jeff Guenther, LPC and Dr. Lindsey Lerner sit down with psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Cynthia Ellis Gray to demystify what modern psychoanalysis actually looks like (and why it is way more than just Sigmund Freud and an antique couch). First, Cynthia breaks down the core ideas behind psychoanalysis in plain English: why people still lie on couches 4 days a week, how our unconscious habits run the show, and how we constantly project our childhood relationships onto friends, coworkers, and internet strangers. Then, Jeff jumps into the client chair for a very raw, real-time session. Coming off a viral video with 20 million views and a flood of terrifying death threats, Jeff unpacks his complicated relationship with online fame, his self-doubt, and the painful realization that his online battles are just a stand-in for his estranged family. Finally, the group breaks down the whole session, exploring why Jeff felt the urge to be a "good client," how therapists manage their own emotional reactions, and why we repeat the patterns that hurt us the most.

Psychedelic Integration: Grounding Ego Death and Life After the Trip

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 50:17

What happens when you touch pure universal love, dissolve your ego, and experience something completely life-changing, but then have to go home the next morning and do your laundry? In this episode of Breaking Down, hosts Jeff Guenther, LPC and Dr. Lindsey Lerner welcome naturopathic physician, ketamine provider, and psilocybin facilitator Dr. Ali Bigelow, ND to explore the world of psychedelic-assisted therapy and the essential process of integration. First, Ali breaks down how psychedelics quiet our brain's default mode network (the part of our brain running our automatic stories and mental ruts), why one big trip alone will not fix your life, and how to avoid the trap of spiritual bypassing. Next, Ali guides Lindsey through a live, deeply personal integration session following a recent ketamine journey. Lindsey shares what it felt like to let go of her everyday identity, feel surrounded by ancestral motherly love, and work through past birthday grief, while Ali helps her turn those wild, expansive memories into everyday grounding habits. Finally, Jeff, Lindsey, and Ali debrief the session, discussing how facilitators use colors and imagery to anchor memories, why safe support matters so much, and how to stay grounded when talking about the 12th dimension.
