Week 6: When to Break Up with a Therapist (with Uzo Aduba)

On the last episode of In Session, hosts Dr. Janelle S. Peifer and Brandon Kyle Goodman talk to the incomparable Uzo Aduba about her experience bringing Dr. Brooke Taylor to life. We hear why Uzo says In Treatment was “the hardest thing she’s ever done” and what it’s like to play a character with so many struggles that overlap with her own. Then, our hosts talk through the show’s last four episodes and unpack tricky questions about how and when to end a therapeutic relationship.
