24 NOV 2025 · 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. From Bryan’s reflections on military life and the isolation of the pandemic to Dr. Greg’s insights on being consumed by work and responsibilities, the conversation dives into what happens when we become disconnected from ourselves and the people we love. 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.

10 NOV 2025 · In a recent episode of “Off the Couch,” Brian and Tony dove into some of the real challenges facing young people today—everything from climate change to the shaky economy to a political system that often feels corrupt and detached from everyday life. They talked about the growing gap between those in power and the average American who’s just trying to get by, especially when government decisions cut essential programs like SNAP. You could hear the frustration and heartbreak in the conversation, because these aren’t just headlines—this stuff is exhausting for people who are already trying to navigate an uncertain future.
The episode also touched on recent news, like the over-the-top Halloween party at Mar-A-Lago and the new ballroom being built at the White House. Brian and Tony called out the irony of those lavish displays while so many Americans are struggling. But the message wasn’t just doom and gloom. They talked about why hope, community, and connection still matter. Yes, things are tough, and there are real systemic problems, but history also shows that people can adapt, rise up, and create change.
The heart of the episode was about supporting each other and recognizing the emotional weight these issues put on younger generations. It was a reminder that we’re not powerless—and that taking care of our mental health and each other is just as important as any political movement.

3 NOV 2025 · 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.

27 OTT 2025 · 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.

20 OTT 2025 · 🎙️ Episode Description: Off The Couch
In this episode, host Dr. Greg Cason, producer Bryan Gomez, and guest Michelle Perkins — financial expert and host of the Money and You podcast — take a deep dive into the evolving meaning of retirement and its impact on mental health and purpose. Gone are the days when retirement meant simply slowing down. Today, many older adults are choosing to keep working, while younger generations feel the pressure of financial insecurity, with two-thirds of millennials lacking retirement savings. 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.

13 OTT 2025 · In this episode, host Dr. Greg sits down with guest David Bader for an honest and heartfelt discussion about the experiences of LGBTQ parents—particularly from a father’s perspective. David opens up about his personal journey of coming out and raising his son, Daniel, as a solo parent after leaving a marriage in the early 1990s. He reflects on the challenges of being one of the few openly gay fathers at that time, noting that about 35% of LGBTQ parents are men, yet few visible role models or support systems existed for them back then. Together, Dr. Greg and David explore the complexities of parenting, relationships, and how societal perceptions of LGBTQ families have evolved. David shares both the joys and struggles of his journey—from navigating dating as a single dad to raising a child with special needs—while underscoring the importance of authenticity and self-acceptance. Through his story, he highlights how fatherhood deepened his understanding of love and resilience. This conversation offers a powerful look at how family, identity, and love intersect, adding an important voice to the broader dialogue around acceptance, inclusion, and representation in modern family life.

6 OTT 2025 · What happens when a teacher turns her classroom into a living lesson on racism? In 1968, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Jane Elliott—an elementary school teacher in Iowa—divided her all-white third graders into “blue eyes” and “brown eyes.” What followed shocked the children, outraged the nation, and became one of the most infamous and influential social exercises in American history.
In this explosive conversation, Jane Elliott joins Off the Couch with Dr. Greg to revisit her groundbreaking “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise, explain why it drew as much fury as praise, and reveal why the lessons from that single classroom are more urgent today than ever before. Is America ready to face the truths she exposed over 50 years ago—or are we still running from them?
