    Episode 98: Is Your Life Passing You By? The 5% SolutionHost: Dr. Greg • Producer & Co-Host: Bryan Gomez In this heartfelt episode of Off the Couch with Dr. Greg, Dr. Greg and producer Bryan Gomez open up about a universal struggle: the feeling that life is racing by while we’re too busy to notice.

Together, they explore how societal expectations—especially the pressure cooker of social media—shape our sense of worth and fuel the belief that we’re never doing enough. Through personal stories and candid moments, they discuss the challenge of balancing ambition with presence, and how easily gratitude can get lost in the grind. This episode is a powerful reminder to slow down, reconnect, and make intentional choices that prioritize meaning over busyness. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck on autopilot, or just craving more joy in everyday life, Dr. Greg and Bryan offer encouragement, clarity, and a nudge to appreciate the moments that matter most.

    Episode 95: Why is America So Angry Right Now?
    2025/11/03
    In this episode of Off The Couch, host Dr. Greg Cason and producer Bryan Gomez take a deep dive into the “anger economy” that’s fueling so much of today’s public discourse. The episode kicks off with a real-life encounter between an older man and an irate woman, sparking a heartfelt discussion about how anger has not only become normalized—but even profitable—in our society.

    Dr. Greg and Bryan explore how social media platforms and political figures tap into outrage because it drives clicks, views, and, ultimately, revenue. Yet, as Dr. Greg points out, anger is a natural emotional response—especially when we feel rules or norms are being violated. The real issue arises when that anger is weaponized to manipulate and divide us.

    Together, they remind listeners of the importance of emotional intelligence, especially in a culture that rewards hot takes over thoughtful reflection. By learning to manage our own reactions and choosing calm over chaos, we can reclaim our power and resist being pulled into the vortex of constant outrage.

    This episode challenges us to pause, think critically, and consider how our emotions are being influenced. As Bryan says, sometimes the most rebellious act is simply choosing to stay calm.

    Episode 94: Is Your Therapist Pushing Their Politics?
    2025/10/27
    On the latest episode of "Off The Couch," host Dr. Greg and producer Bryan dive into the complex and controversial overlap between therapy and politics. They explore growing concerns that some therapists may inject their political beliefs into sessions—going so far as to condition treatment on clients rejecting their own views. The conversation references shifts in the American Psychological Association, including its stance on racism as a public health crisis and pressures for therapists to adopt activist roles. Dr. Greg and Bryan raise the question: When does advocacy cross the line into alienation? Drawing from the humanistic philosophy of Carl Rogers, they underscore the therapeutic need for unconditional positive regard—support that doesn’t depend on a client’s politics. While political discussions can be a valid part of therapy, the hosts argue it becomes problematic when therapists impose their personal ideologies. This episode tackles the growing polarization within the therapeutic space and urges mental health professionals to prioritize their clients' needs over their own beliefs. The result? A call to return to a truly supportive, non-judgmental, and inclusive model of therapy.

This reality sparks anxiety about the future and challenges long-held notions of what it means to retire. Together, the trio explores the emotional side of money management, the shifting job landscape, and the importance of lifelong learning and adaptability. The conversation is a thoughtful reminder that financial wellness isn’t just about numbers — it’s about mindset, purpose, and planning ahead in uncertain times.
