In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa tackles the thing most people are experts at avoiding: their own feelings. If emotions supposedly move through your body in about 90 seconds, why do we treat sadness, fear, and disappointment like they’re radioactive? Lisa, Nick, and Celia dig into the fear that if you start crying you’ll never stop, the urge to stay busy so you don’t have to feel, and the exhausting performance of being “fine” when you very much are NOT. They break down why bottling things up doesn’t make you strong — it just makes you weird later — and how avoiding discomfort turns small feelings into full-blown meltdowns. If you’ve ever powered through heartbreak, anxiety, or bad news like a champ, only to crash out at 2 a.m., this episode is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling life and to feel the damn feeling already.

Lisa Lampanelli is back… and she’s got opinions. Comedy's former Queen of Mean may not be a licensed therapist, but that’s never stopped her from dishing out advice. So, after years of roasting celebs (and herself), the retired insult comic has decided it's time for her to help you shrink your problems, roast your bad decisions, and help you get your act together.

 

Each week, Lisa and her unpaid sidekick comedian Nick Scopoletti read letters from real people with real issues—mental health, body image, friendship, family, and why you’re still texting that loser. Every episode of "Shrink This!" is full of unfiltered wisdom, inappropriate jokes, a whole lotta heart, and ZERO B.S. Just when you thought counseling and straight talk had to be 100% serious, turns out it doesn't!
