In this eye-opening episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, hosts Michael Greenfield and Ushy Schwartz sit down with renowned therapist and leader of the Serenity Center, Mordechai Weinberger. From the once-taboo world of therapy to its now widespread acceptance, they explore how mental health awareness has shifted dramatically over the years.
Mordechai dives deep into the differences between alternative and professional therapy, the power of hypnotherapy, and why therapy isn’t just for those in crisis—but for everyone seeking self-growth. He shares his journey from alternative therapy to social work and how he’s changing the game by making therapy more affordable and accessible.
Expect bold takes on mental health, controversial truths about therapy in religious communities, and practical advice on how to level up your life through self-awareness and emotional resilience. Plus, a no-holds-barred lightning round where Mordechai answers hot-topic questions on relationships, trust, and personal growth.
Is therapy the gym for your mind? Should your spouse have full access to your phone? Can hypnosis really cure fears and trauma?
Tune in to this raw, unfiltered conversation that will challenge what you think you know about therapy—and maybe even inspire you to book your next session.
