Todd BaratzEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Therapy speak is taking over everything including dating. This week therapist Todd Baratz joins us to talk about how anxiety got rebranded as discernment — and why knowing every term hasn't made a single one of us better at relationships. In conversation, we tackle: * Todd's call on which diagnosis goes viral next now that narcissism has had its run * Why everyone is avoidant, and how you can't tell if you feel safe with someone when you show up guarded by 25,000 memes * The reason insight feels like a solution when it isn't (and why collecting it is the same high as online shopping) * Todd on why everything feels like a scam right now * What Todd actually tells parents who ask him what to say when their kid asks about sex You can follow Todd on Instagram @yourdiagnonsense.

On this first Episode of Season 6 of Kat on the Loose , I sit down with Todd Baratz , also known on social media as Your Diagnonsense . Todd is a licensed therapist and licensed sex therapist with a massive following on social media, and he’s known for his no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point advice on dating, relationships, and emotional patterns. Todd has built his platform by saying the things most people are afraid to say—and honestly, need to hear. He doesn’t sugarcoat, he doesn’t enable bad behavior, and he doesn’t get lost in excuses. Instead, he helps people take real accountability, understand their attachment styles, and stop repeating the same relationship cycles over and over again. In this conversation, we talk about modern dating, boundaries, emotional availability, sex, intimacy, and why so many people stay stuck in relationships that don’t actually serve them. There were moments that were eye-opening, challenging, and incredibly validating all at the same time. If you’ve ever felt confused by dating, frustrated by mixed signals, or tired of hearing soft advice that leads nowhere, this episode is for you. Todd brings clarity, honesty, and a refreshing level of truth that will absolutely make you think—and probably rethink a few things about your love life. This is one of those episodes that stays with you long after it ends!! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Many of the ways in which we meet, date and maintain love, sex and intimacy have changed across generations; but what happens when these adaptations come up to clash with our historical and ingrained beliefs and expectations of relationships? Has how we love changed, or has the context around love moved on which has shaped our expectations and experiences of intimacy in new ways? In this episode, author of How To Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind Todd Baratz talks about how we are ‘pursuing a marketed version of love’. We discuss exactly what he means by that, and the ways in which love, and what we want from love, and how we 'do' love have changed in the modern world. Todd Baratz is a renowned psychotherapist and sex therapist who has worked with thousands of people who are navigating their challenges with love and relationships, and he brings such interesting perspective to one of the topics which continues to be one of the most common but complex human experiences - love.

I am so excited to have fellow therapist Todd Baratz on the show to talk about his new book, How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind: Forget the Fairy Tale and Get Real. You might know Todd on Instagram as @yourdiagnonsense, which is how I came across his amazing work. Todd wrote this book for anyone feeling stuck in their relationship, and it was inspired by his own relationship struggles. As we mention in the interview, just because we're therapists doesn't mean we have it all figured out! We cover a range of topics, from what inspired Todd to write this book and become a therapist specializing in sex, to the importance of differentiation in long-term relationships and intergenerational trauma. I hope you enjoy this therapist jam as much as I did. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/617

What You’ll Gain from this Episode: ✨ The complex reality of therapeutic support on social media, it’s influence on current societal trends, and the need to hold space for the inevitable lack of nuance that exists in the digital world ✨ An emphasis on the importance of understanding the complexities and meanings behind behaviors, rejecting black-and-white thinking, and taking personal responsibility to recognize the influence of social norms on your own personal development ✨ How our relationship structures are evolving in ways that offer less dogma and more authenticity in our healing, and how that’s begun to shift the societal “normal” away from staying in unhealthy relationships ✨The necessity for therapists to check in with their countertransference and not be too quick to look for a solution when “stuck” is a necessary stage of their own personal development 🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy Connect with Todd: Instagram Website Order Todd’s New Book Here If you find value in these conversations, please take a moment to rate and review the podcast.

The time has come! It’s our final episode of Season1! But fear not Floss fans, we’ll back with Season 2 really soon. To help you work through your anxious attachment to this podcast, we’ve got the amazing Todd Baratz on the show this week. He and Floss will be answering your questions, listening to your voice notes and taking calls from a couple of you! Our relationships , friendships, romantic partnerships, family relationships are what fill our lives with meaning and teach us the most about ourselves. It’s a cliche but it really does all come down to relationships. We live in a time when on the one hand we have access to so much helpful information, online, through podcasts and books, and exposure to concepts and ideas about relationships, that we have the potential to really grow in emotional literacy and maturity. But on the other hand this can mean that big complex subjects are reduced to memes, infographics and 140 characters - things like “ emotional availability, attachment styles, red flags” can all be used to label and even condemn what is often, normal, fluctuating human behaviour. This is exactly why we thought Todd Baratz would be the perfect expert to round off the season. He doesn’t subscribe to labels and actively debunks a lot of the common misconceptions that get shared, often out of context. Todd is a certified sex therapist, licensed individual and couples psychotherapist, and writer who specializes in relationships and sex. Online his account @yourdiagnonsense is shaking up the world of therapy one brutally honest post at a time. He is a proud queer man and he communicates in a way which makes it okay to feel the many different things we all go through- we all contain multitudes!

Licensed individual and couples therapist, Todd Baratz, wants you to know that it's not you who's fucked up, it's your culture. In this episode, Todd and I talked about the limitations of diagnoses and binary thinking in mental health, the shame that accompanies trying to be "normal," how expectations can hurt relationships, and more.
