You’ve read the books.
Tried the habits.
Listened to the podcasts.
Still, something’s missing.
It’s not that the advice is wrong.
It just doesn’t land.
It’s too polished.
Too perfect.
Too far from the life you’re actually living.
That’s where John Kim comes in.
He’s a licensed therapist who went through a divorce and decided to document the mess instead of pretending it didn’t happen.
He called the blog The Angry Therapist.
And people showed up; not for the therapy, but for the honesty.
John didn’t sound like a self-help guru.
He sounded like someone you’d actually talk to.
In a coffee shop. At the gym. On a walk.
Fifteen years later, he’s still writing, this time on Substack, where
lives on as part journal, part coaching, part permission to be human.He writes about marriage, parenting, masculinity, loneliness, healing. And why CrossFit workouts sometimes hurt more emotionally than physically.
It’s not about being fixed. It’s about being real.
If traditional therapy has ever felt too clinical, or if you’re tired of content that talks at you instead of with you, go read The Angry Therapist.
