Can therapy really look like what we see in Anger Management with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson? In this laugh-out-loud episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, Erin and Tanya—two licensed therapists—take a wicked deep dive into the film’s chaotic version of “treatment.”

We’re talking unethical therapy, people-pleasing personalities, power dynamics, and the real psychology behind why Adam Sandler’s character avoids conflict (until he doesn’t).

From the bizarre exposure techniques to the ridiculous boundary-blurring moments, we’re breaking down what this movie gets wildly wrong about mental health care—and the surprising bits it gets kinda right.

🎬 Whether you're a therapist, a Sandler fan, or just love analyzing movies through a mental health lens, this one’s for you.

✨ Plus, we share how this all connects to birth order, childhood trauma, and whether we could ever be concierge therapists like Jack Nicholson’s character (spoiler: we’re not moving into anyone’s house anytime soon).

🎧 New episodes every Wednesday. Come hang out, laugh, and learn with us.
