Authentic Beyond The Couch believes your story is worth telling and healing takes courage. ABC brings therapy into real life, beyond the walls of the counseling room and into the hearts of people who may never step into one. Hosted by Jirzia Blackman, EMDR therapist, speaker, and founder of Rhapsody Counseling, this podcast bridges the gap between professional insight and everyday struggles.

Each biweekly episode invites honest, unfiltered conversations about the pain, questions, and growth we often keep hidden. From breaking the stigma around mental health to exploring topics most avoid—grief, identity, betrayal, faith, and healing—we make room for what's real.

For those who've experienced religious or church-related pain, this space offers compassion without judgment. We talk about rebuilding faith, rediscovering self, and finding God again after the hurt.

Because healing doesn't only happen on the couch—it happens in community, in truth, and in authenticity.
