**Two Shrinks** is what happens when two best friends with doctorates, 20+ years of clinical experience, and a lot of opinions turn on the microphones. Sloane and Viv are anonymous clinical psychologists talking pop culture, relationships, human behavior, and whatever else they feel like dissecting. Smart, cheeky, occasionally inappropriate, and definitely not therapy.
**Psychologists talking about everyone but their clients.**
Episode 9: Love Is Blind Season 11, Episodes 9–11 — WTF, Rob?!?!
Well, THAT escalated quickly. 😳
Just when we thought we had Rob figured out, Love Is Blind gave us a whole new side of him—and we have QUESTIONS.
In this episode of Two Shrinks, Viv and Sloane unpack the drama of Season 11, Episodes 9–11, starting with Rob's shocking behavior and Michaela's impressive ability to stay composed, recognize the red flags, and walk away.
But we're not stopping there. We're diving into attachment styles, emotional maturity, family expectations, vulnerability, and the difference between loving someone and trying to fix them.
We're also revisiting the other couples: Is Wilson emotionally unavailable? Is Wilney's attachment style getting in the way? Is Sarah taking on too much emotional responsibility? And could John actually be growing on us?
Plus, we're making our predictions about who will—and definitely won't—make it down the aisle. 💍
Two psychologists. Big opinions. Zero sugarcoating.

Ep. 8 - On Love is Blind, Season 11, Ep. 6-8
Two Shrinks: On Love Is Blind — Season 11, Episodes 6–8
The honeymoon is over, the couples are moving in together, and the red flags are moving in right alongside them. 🚩
This week, Sloane and Viv are back to dissect Episodes 6–8 of Netflix's Love Is Blind, Season 11. And now that the couples are entering the real world, we're starting to see what happens when romantic fantasies meet actual relationships.
On the couch this week:
John & Sarah: Is he genuinely growing, or just becoming whoever she wants him to be? And what exactly is he bringing to the relationship?
Wilnie & Wilson: When insecurity turns into constant testing, is there any way for your partner to win?
Blake & Erika: Can a relationship survive when two people have very different visions of their future?
Rob & Michaella: Finally, a couple we can root for! Could these two actually make it?
Stew & Jax: The reunion nobody quite understood. Is she having second thoughts, or does she just like the idea of him?
Plus, we tackle the psychology of attraction, emotional compatibility, boundaries, and the difference between loving someone and loving the idea of someone.
And the bigger question: Are these contestants actually ready for marriage, or just ready for reality TV?
Two clinical psychologists. Two very different perspectives. Plenty of opinions.

Ep. 7 - On Death of a Pastor's Wife
Two Shrinks: On Death of a Pastor's Wife
Faith. Power. Control. And a story that raises more questions than answers.
Sloane and Viv dive into Netflix's Death of a Pastor's Wife, examining the tragic death of Micah Miller and the complicated relationship dynamics surrounding her story.
From allegations of manipulation and coercive control to secrecy, isolation, and the psychology of abusive relationships, two clinical psychologists unpack the behaviors, warning signs, and unanswered questions explored in the documentary.
Why do people stay in relationships that appear harmful? How can secrecy make it harder to seek help? And what happens when religious authority, power, and personal relationships become intertwined?
Plus, Sloane and Viv discuss some of the details that left them questioning what they thought they knew.
Two psychologists. Over 20 years of experience. And plenty of questions.
Because sometimes the most important part of a story is understanding the psychology behind it.

Ep 6. - On Love is Blind, Season 11, Episodes 1-4
Love is blind… but the red flags aren't. 🚩
Sloane and Viv dive into the first four episodes of Love Is Blind, Season 11, bringing their perspectives as clinical psychologists to the ultimate dating experiment.
From instant connections and questionable chemistry to attachment styles, insecurity, emotional maturity, and some very interesting dating behaviors, the two shrinks unpack what's happening beneath the surface.
Plus, a few personal dating stories, some questionable choices, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Two psychologists. Over 20 years of experience. And a whole lot of opinions about people they've never met.
They say love is blind. We have questions. 🎙️

Ep. 5 - On Blood Art, Furries, & Dogs: What Animals Teach Us About Being Human
What can animals teach us about being human? Apparently, quite a lot.
This week, Sloane and Viv start with a butcher who creates paintings using animal blood, wander into the world of furries and animal identity, and eventually find themselves talking about judgment, authenticity, and our very human need to understand people who experience the world differently than we do.
Along the way, they take a detour into Raygun and the brutal experience of becoming an international punchline overnight — and what happens when we stop seeing the person behind the meme.
But somehow, the conversation keeps coming back to animals. And by the end, Sloane and Viv are wondering whether dogs might actually have a few things figured out that humans don’t: how to love without keeping score, forgive quickly, hold boundaries, live in the moment, and simply be who you are.
It’s an episode about animals. Sort of. Mostly, it’s about us.

Ep. 4 - On the Patrick Clancy Theory
The internet has a theory. Actually, it has a lot of them.
In this episode of Two Shrinks, Sloane and Viv take a closer look at the growing theories surrounding Patrick Clancy and the Lindsay Clancy case. We examine some of the claims circulating online, separate what appears to be supported from what may have grown through repetition, and ask why certain narratives become so compelling in the first place.
From questions about the investigation and Lindsay’s suicide attempt to Patrick’s behavior, grief, and the assumptions people make about what guilt or innocence is “supposed” to look like, we explore the case through a psychological lens.
And, yes, sometimes one of us is considerably more convinced by a theory than the other.
Because this isn't about proving a conspiracy. It's about asking better questions, looking at what we actually know, and noticing how easily speculation can start to feel like fact.

Ep. 3 - On MAFS Reunion
The couples have spoken, the reunion has aired, and we have thoughts.
Sloane and Viv are back to unpack the Married at First Sight reunion: who surprised us, who still needs to find a little self-awareness, and whether any of these couples ever stood a chance.
We’re talking Mecca and Bella Jolie, Tori and Felipe, Marissa finally finding her voice, Adam’s unforgettable breakup gift, Courtney’s “this is just who I am” defense, and the difference between self-acceptance and avoiding accountability.
Along the way, we get into the psychology underneath it all: why we lash out when we feel rejected, the ways our egos show up in relationships, and what our strongest reactions to other people might reveal about ourselves.
Plus, Jimmy has a conspiracy theory, forgets his role as fact-checker, and is promptly reminded to know his place.

Ep. 1 - On Lindsay Clancy
In our first episode, Sloane and Viv take on the Lindsay Clancy case, one of the most difficult and emotionally charged trials in recent memory.
Recorded after both the prosecution and defense rested, but before closing arguments, we unpack the testimony, competing narratives, and psychological questions at the center of the case. What does the evidence tell us about Lindsay Clancy’s mental state? How should we think about postpartum mental illness, intent, responsibility, and criminal culpability? What happens when clinical concepts enter a courtroom? And.... did Patrick do it?
Two clinical psychologists. Two perspectives. A case with very few easy answers.
Note: This episode was recorded before closing arguments and reflects the information publicly available at that point in the trial.
