Therapy Hour
Hosted by CiTR & Discorder Magazine · EN
Therapy Hour is a bi-weekly radio show hosted every other Tuesday evening 6-7pm on CiTR by Holleh Hajibashi and Violet Myles. It discusses, researches, and contextualizes many of the issues young people face. The hosts use personal anecdotes guided by academic research to cover topics related to human behaviour, gender roles, and relationship issues. By having the dynamic of a UBC Psychology student in conversation with an “audience stand-in”, they engage in enriching dialogue on a variety of topics which might be typically covered in a therapy session.

In part two, we read some of our all time favourite messages from listeners, discuss which episodes we wish we could have covered on the show but were never able to, and why doing this podcast has meant so much to us. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who has been with us and supported us on this journey. We are so honoured that people have taken the time to actually listen to us give our silly little opinions and say our silly little jokes.
