How does a therapist whose been practicing for 20 years deal with a bad case of burn-out? Go to therapy. And there are so many different kinds of therapy and self-help to choose from. But in a world, that seems to be getting crazier, are they helping? This true account of Jude Treder-Wolff's search for renewed hope introduces you to some of the fascinating characters who think they can help, including a wildly optimistic corporate trainer, an opinionated life coach, and mind/body therapist who was either the most relaxed, ethereal person or completely high. Featuring original songs written for the show by Jude Treder-Wolff and composer Wells Hanley.
