Ep.1 – My Bartender, My Therapist

In this episode of Bar Therapy, Dr. Xander Gerrymander discusses what it's like to be a bartender and amateur therapist with Dr. K, a psychologist. In our current world, obtaining an appointment with a licensed therapist can take weeks if not months, whereas your bartender is well… always available. They engage in a lively conversation into what may or may not be appropriate to unload at the bartop, where lines may have to be drawn, in addition to how bartenders can help their patrons through their trying times. Also, the gentle nudging which may have to occur to suggest where actual therapy would have to be obtained.

Theme song “Just A Little Drink” performed by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (1925)
