quote

Read what our listeners are saying

".....this shift in clarity is in no small part thanks to your enlightening education, which you so graciously put out into the world"

"The main point I'm trying to get across is my deep gratefulness to you for your psychoanalytic teachings which have FINALLY brought some relief and SANITY for me!"

"…. how much RELIEF your podcasts and YouTube videos are bringing me. THANK YOU! Thank you! Thank you!"

"I often listen to some of your podcasts or videos on repeats when I feel like I'm going crazy. Also, there are little realizations that I sometimes only catch when listening for the 4th or 12th time…."

"…..you are singular among podcasts, in that you are compassionate, curious and not only looking to help and heal those who identify as victims but those who identify as narcissists."

"I really just wanted to let you know how much impact you have and the precious gift of relief and sanity you have given to me, which was elusive despite the 4-5 years work I've put in prior."

"I am just so thankful for your podcast, that I found while continuing my search on healing from narcissism"

"...while the majority opt for easier and more popular approaches that have wider general appeal, you have instead chosen to go deep into the definitely much more effective approach, albeit more painful and taxing. Respect!"

"What truly sets your work apart is your commitment to exploring root causes rather than offering surface-level solutions."

"Words cannot express my gratitude to finally unravel this vexing, recurring power struggle knot that has troubled me for so long."

"... Your recent exploration into the cause and effect of power struggles and constant need to win is something that I was unable to unravel in my mind until you laid it out."

"I chanced upon your podcast while researching to understand more about vulnerable narcissism, and have been listening intensely through your episodes, some more than once, for past few weeks."

"I am so very grateful for your recent videos on youtube- the information and insight you give is fascinating and transformative."

"Listening to your podcasts has helped me to understand some problems within ME and my own personality. For example, I was listening to your recent episode on anger, hatred, and rage when I realized that I myself am plagued with symptoms of hate and rage. For some reason I'm able to take your approach and be open-minded about applying the concepts to my own behaviors that match your descriptions as well as applying them to what I see in my husband's."

"You're being so helpful to me; thank you! I took your questions and went back through my journal & wrote out the answers to your questions pertaining to specific conflicts, and that is helping me …."

"Dr. Mazzella, you are a rare gem of a psychotherapist. You are one of very few authentic professionals on YouTube who isn't afraid to tell it like it is ..."

"Your balanced perspectives are exactly what people need to hear, so they can open their minds and challenge their thoughts, strong beliefs, perspectives, and actions."

"Your content is so valuable to me and others. I've shared your YT channel to 2 friends so far that I think would benefit. …Honestly, I think everyone could benefit from your extensive knowledge on these issues!"

"....I hate to imagine where I would be emotionally or even physically without the knowledge and insight that I now have about my partner. And that is thanks to the information I have learned from your podcasts .. I found you because I was not satisfied or convinced with most of the information out there on the internet as far as navigating difficult relationships...."
