In this episode of “Shrink This,” Lisa drags the Enneagram out of BuzzFeed hell and back into its rightful place: at the top of the list of the most helpful tools for self-awareness. Joined by Nick and a surprise producer swap, she breaks down what your “type” actually means—and why using it as an excuse to be unbearable is a cop-out. Discussing every type from flaky 7s to bossy 8s and conflict-avoiding 9s, Lisa shows how every personality has red flags, growth paths, and zero permission to stay stuck. If you’ve ever said, “That’s just how I am,” this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with Broadway performer and fellow chaos gremlin Chris O’Neill to talk about what happens when the loud, funny guy finally walks into therapy—and immediately starts crying. They unpack ADHD, people-pleasing, control issues, and why being “the fun one” is often just a coping mechanism in a clown nose and floppy shoes. From emotional dumps to re-parenting your inner child, this is a brutally honest, surprisingly tender conversation about what actually changes when you stop dodging your feelings and let someone help.

It’s finally here! After months of waiting, the trio is together again, and “Shrink This” is back for Season 2! Celia returns with an update after last season’s “Fixing Celia” cliffhanger, Nick remains proudly unfixable, and Lisa spirals over discovering her future gravestone is way bigger than she anticipated — which somehow becomes a surprisingly emotional lesson about shame.
What starts as jokes turns into a conversation about outgrowing your family, feeling weird for doing “better” than your parents, and the quiet fear that success makes you ungrateful or disloyal. Add in listener letters from people who feel like disappointments, black sheep, and underachievers, and suddenly everyone’s unpacking the same thing: you’re not broken — you’re just growing.
