Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show. This week on Wicked Psychotherapists , Gen X psychotherapist Erin and her “Xennial” co-host Tanya (that sweet spot between Gen X and Millennial) dig into the hilarious emotional chaos of Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers . Think: lie detectors, lost cats, ninth-place trophies — and a whole lot of family dysfunction. Why do people-pleasers like Greg fall apart around controlling dads? How does being raised with too much or not enough structure shape anxiety, identity, and our adult relationships? Erin and Tanya bring personal stories, therapist insights, and generational wisdom to this deep-yet-fun look at parenting styles, emotional boundaries, and surviving awkward family dynamics. 🎧 Whether you’re Gen X, Xennial, Millennial, or just someone who’s ever dreaded meeting the in-laws — you’ll relate.
