About the show

Off the Couch Psychology Podcast is your go-to source for understanding mental health, breaking the stigma around mental illness, and learning how to take control of your mind and your life. Hosted by Dr. Jerry Cunningham, psychologist, author, and podcast host, this show breaks down complex psychological topics into real, practical conversations you can actually use in your everyday life.
