Finding a therapist is one of the most vulnerable decisions someone can make—and somehow the system treats it like a blind date with a diagnosis.

You’re expected to trust a stranger with your nervous system, your story, and your worst moments, often at the lowest point in your life—without ever really knowing who they are.

That’s backwards.

In this episode, we introduce you to Cian Foley, one of the therapists at e-motion Wellness. Not through a résumé or a clinical bio, but through a real conversation about who he is, how he thinks, and how he actually shows up in the room when the work gets hard.

We talk about:

• Why Cian chose this field—and what almost pushed him away from it
• How he works with addiction and mental health without pathologizing normal human struggle
• What traditional therapy often misses, and where it still matters
• Why regulation comes before insight
• What it actually feels like to sit across from him as a client

This episode is part of our commitment to transparency in mental health. We don’t believe therapists should be anonymous authority figures behind credentials and buzzwords. We believe connection matters. Safety matters. And you should have a sense of who we are before you ever make the call.

No performance. No polish. Just real humans doing real work.
