Travis Scott partnered with BetterHelp after the Astroworld tragedy. Therapy Den’s Jeff Guenther explains why it might not be a good thing.

After the tragedy at Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival that left 10 dead and hundreds injured and traumatized, the rapper announced a “partnership” to provide a free month of therapy through the app BetterHelp, which is basically the Tinder of therapy. Jeff Guenthr, creator of Therapy Den, has been using his platform on TikTok to shed light on BetterHelp’s practices when it comes to data privacy and the way therapists are treated.  Jeff joins Bridget and producer Dr. Michael Amato to talk though why this “partnership” feels so wrong in the wake of the tragedy.  Check out Therapy Den: <a href="https://www.therapyden.com/">https://www.therapyden.com/</a>Jeff’s therapy TikToks get millions of views: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@therapyden/video/7007091547917372677?lang=en">https://www.tiktok.com/@therapyden/video/7007091547917372677?lang=en</a> Astroworld Festival: How to Help Those Impacted by the Tragedy: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/astroworld-festival-fundraisers">https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/astroworld-festival-fundraisers</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
