This week Jeremy is joined by returning guest Emily Maynard to unpack the ethical complaints against Dr. Laura Anderson, a prominent figure in the deconstruction space. Together they explore the nuance between licensed therapy and coaching, the risk of recreating harmful power dynamics after leaving evangelicalism, and how survivors can cultivate discernment without falling into learned helplessness. The conversation weaves through personal experience, professional ethics, and cultural accountability to offer a thoughtful roadmap for navigating murky online spaces.
You can learn more about Emily and her practice at Emily Maynard Therapy, and give her a follow on Instagram. You can find her on some great podcasts here with friends of the podcast. Community!
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com

Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.
