In this quick bonus episode of And Now Love, Cynthia Marks and Dr. Loren Weiner tackle the most common therapy myths that keep people stuck, ashamed, or misinformed. Loren starts by dismantling the idea that “therapy is only for crazy people,” reframing therapy as a place to get in touch with your deepest feelings and build resiliency for a complicated world. Next, she addresses the myth that “my therapist will just tell me what to do,” explaining that real therapy helps you grow into someone who can make clear choices for yourself. They also unpack the unrealistic expectation that you can resolve everything in one or two sessions—because trust, safety, and meaningful transformation take time. Finally, Loren explains why “all therapy is the same” is simply false: modalities differ, and the right fit includes both method and the therapist’s personality. The takeaway is empowering and practical: therapy isn’t a last resort—it’s a growth tool, and you’re allowed to choose what serves you best.0:00 — Bonus: Therapy Myths with Dr. Loren Weiner
