Episode Description

Dr. Orna Guralnik broke barriers by bringing actual therapy sessions to millions of viewers through Showtime’s hit docuseries “Couples Therapy” — but her rebellious streak started much earlier.

In this episode, Dr. Guralnik talks about the songs that transformed her into a "real" teenager, the therapist who changed her life, and how music has sparked both connection and conflict in her family. Plus, she draws a surprising line between Kendrick Lamar and Igor Stravinsky—and explains why therapy, like music, is a lifelong process of learning and discovery. Here are her seven songs.

  1. The Beatles - Let It Be
  2. Igor Stravinsky - Rite Of Spring
  3. Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby
  4. Robert Wyatt - A Last Straw
  5. Tuxedomoon - Bonjour Tristesse
  6. Modest Mouse - The Good Times Are Killing Mw
  7. Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst
