Other People's Problems
Therapy is usually behind a closed door. This one leaves it open.
Who it's for
Listeners hear real, consented sessions rather than a description of therapy, which demystifies what actually happens in the room.

What it is
Other People's Problems is a CBC podcast hosted by Dr. Hillary McBride that lets listeners hear real, unscripted therapy sessions, which are normally confidential. Season 5, released from May 2025, focuses on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, with McBride guiding clients through drug-assisted sessions as part of trauma recovery.
