Last month, after broadcasting more than 350 episodes spanning four years, Finding You: An Evoke Therapy Programs Podcast reached the milestone of its one millionth listen.
 
The podcast sprang from Evoke’s weekly webinars, which the company has been offering to its current and alumni families since December 2007 (and which it opened to the public as well, in early 2020). Led by Dr. Brad Reedy, founder and executive clinical director of Evoke, the webinars became places for people to congregate and learn new ways of thinking about themselves and the people around them. As the podcast medium took off, Reedy saw it as a way to reach and help even more people.
 
“Our goal was simple,” says Reedy, “we wanted to give more people simple and easy access to therapeutic ideas for themselves and their family relationships regardless of whether or not they are/were an Evoke client.” Additionally, Reedy wanted to share the driving force behind Evoke’s therapeutic philosophy. “We are passionate about Attachment-based therapy and thought this was also a great way to introduce a broader range of people to how it works and how life-changing it can be.”
 
Since then, the podcast has covered topics such as parenting and co-parenting, couplehood and relationships, self-love and acceptance, healthy boundaries, and how to choose a therapist that is right for you. But Reedy doesn’t ignore more difficult topics either; codependency, addiction, personality disorders, suicidality and self-harm, eating disorders, and many others have been on the roster. In fact, the most popular broadcast so far, has been one on Narcissism.
 
Recently, the podcast has been welcoming therapists, authors, and speakers such as Krissy Pozatek, Harriet Lerner, and J.D. Gill to share their perspectives. Reedy says this will continue to be a trend in 2021. “We are looking to expand our horizons and welcome more guests from the therapeutic world and beyond,” he says.
