(all times CLT)

Do therapists need therapy too? Jason Segel stars as Jimmy, a cognitive behavioral therapist who is struggling to grieve his wife’s death in AppleTV+’s comedy Shrinking. Jimmy grows tired of his patients constantly complaining about their problems and decides to try a new approach: Telling the unadulterated truth. He begins letting patients know his unfiltered thoughts and even straight up tells a patient to leave her emotionally abusive husband, which — despite blurring ethical boundaries — he learns is quite effective. Jimmy’s boss, Paul Rhoades, (Harrison Ford), who is grappling with his recent Parkinson’s diagnosis, is less than thrilled at Jimmy’s new technique and isn’t shy about it. The first two episodes of the show are available to stream on Apple TV+ and new episodes come out on Fridays.
