| Encore: Ep 20 - Savannah's Chronically-Ill Husband | 22 Oct 2024 | 00:56:28 | |
Hey, Fellow Travelers. When Savannah first met her husband, she knew he had a chronic illness but didn't think it would affect their lives as a young couple in love.

We help Savannah get the support she needs and initiate the hard, honest conversations that she and her husband had both been avoiding. We're going on hiatus to get ready to bring you a brand new season of DEAR THERAPISTS. Until then, take care of yourselves, and don't forget to catch up on any episodes you may have missed!
