The Swearapist Podcast
Welcome to the Swearapist Podcast! Lisa Hoffman is a licensed therapist in rural Western Pennsylvania with a non-traditional, sarcastic, and hilarious outlook on education, practice, self-care, and interaction with other therapists. Listen as we humanize the therapist, share our own experiences with therapy, and normalize the things you thought you couldn't tell your therapist. We will also dive into therapy and practice-related Reddit posts, and will review books that interest us!Email me if shit gets weird: theswearapistpodcast@gmail.comTo support The Swearapist, buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/theswearapist***NOT CLINICAL ADVICE*** Please listen to our first episode, "...

Episode 14: Cease and Resist
Lisa addresses some absolute fuckery that's been afoot lately, and braces listeners of The Swearapist Podcast for impact. It's not cute to bully artists, to steal creative content, or to exploit others for financial gain while claiming to be creating a "safe space." If the shoe fits, bitch, slip that thing on and run far away from us.
Episode 13: Talk Dumb, Get the Thumb
It's our painful pleasure to welcome Jonnie Frederick, owner of Electric Empire Tattoo in Butler, Pennsylvania--and chosen family of The Swearapist. Jonnie and Lisa talk about their history, the deeper-than-skin culture of tattoo, "ink therapy," marriage counseling, and a bunch of other random shit while Jonnie tattoos our host.

Hang out with Lisa and Rashonda--a mom, a school Social Worker, a helper, and the author of her own survival story.
