Description

Therapy Unzipped is where professional therapy meets honest, real-life conversation. Hosted by experienced social workers and longtime friends Brett Hall and Tom Metzinger, Therapy Unzipped explores anxiety, trauma, relationships, emotional health, personal growth, and the often-absurd experience of being human—without burying you in clinical language. Tom is a licensed clinical social worker, certified clinical hypnotherapist, EMDR-certified trauma therapist, and Marine Corps veteran with more than 20 years of mental-health experience. Brett holds both an MSW and an MBA and brings extensive experience in social-work leadership, education, macro practice, and inpatient psychiatric care, including serving as a hospital director and teacher. Together, Brett and Tom combine two distinct perspectives: Tom’s experience treating people and Brett’s experience teaching, leading, and understanding the larger systems that affect them. Each week, they unpack a real mental-health or relationship challenge, explain the psychology behind it, and offer practical ideas you can use in everyday life. You’ll get professional insight, personal stories, candid opinions, and enough humor to make difficult conversations a little easier. It’s the therapy version—and then the unzipped version: more honest, more relatable, occasionally irreverent, but always intended to help.
