Spent years thinking I disliked Wes Anderson's films. Turns out I just needed a little more context -- and a mega retrospective at La Cinémathèque Franchise . It feels surprisingly good to change your mind.

#WesAnderson #Film #Cinephile #PersonalGrowth

So sad to hear of the passing of film critic David Stratton. He was Australia's Roger Ebert, a man who taught a generation of us how to watch movies. His deep integrity, both in his work and in his life, was the real lesson. A true giant.

My therapy practice is tucked between Gambetta & Nation, in the south of Paris' 20th. It’s not postcard Paris — and that’s part of the charm: cobblestones, cafés, and creative calm.

YouTube video by Robert Kos Therapy Paris The Tool That Changed My Mental Health – No Therapist Required

Just dropped a new video on how daily mood tracking helped me figure out why I was anxious — and how ChatGPT made it even easier to find the patterns.

It’s simple, free, and you don’t need to be in therapy to try it.

I like a clean home. But I don’t like burning a whole weekend to get there.

This blog post breaks down the systems that help me keep a home clean without overwhelm:
✔️ Task batching
✔️ Apps
✔️ Steam cleaning (it’s a thing)

YouTube video by Robert Kos Therapy Paris Why I Make Therapy Videos on YouTube (And What to Expect Here)

Why does a therapist start YouTube? Because sometimes people are ready to learn, reflect, and grow — but can’t access therapy.

This intro video shares who I am, why I make these resources, and what I hope they offer.

I used to avoid housework and feel shame about it.

Now, I find calm in the routine.

This week's blog post is about the emotional journey behind that shift — from overwhelm to something surprisingly empowering.

YouTube video by Robert Kos Therapy Paris Should “Adolescence” Be Taught in Schools? Final Verdict

Should Netflix’s “Adolescence” be taught in schools?

In the final video of my series, I give my verdict — and explain why it depends on how it’s taught, who’s teaching, and what support is in place.

Music scenes in Paris are more than just entertainment—they're mirrors of class, identity, and belonging. From Wagner at La Philharmonie to working-class pride at punk gigs, here's what I've been noticing.

Ever felt off but didn’t know why? You’re not alone.

Alexithymia is the struggle to understand or express emotions—common in trauma, neurodivergence, and modern masculinity.

Here’s what it looks like in real life—and what you can do about it:
www.robertkostherapy.com/l/understand...

Fans don’t just cheer, they protect the myth. In sport, as in politics and media, admiration is confused with allegiance.

Remember how long people defended Lance Armstrong?

When myths crack, we often double down on belief rather than accept loss.

What comforting stories do we still cling to?

A national treasure you can still hear: the Musée de la Musique has a 17th-century harpsichord that’s played in live performances.

History doesn’t sit still — it plays on. The French understand that preserving culture also means using it: protecting the past, and staying in dialogue with it.

New blog: “Positive Communication: A Simple Shift That Can Transform Your Relationship.”
It’s not about sugar-coating—it’s about being clear. Especially when emotions are high.

Not a sports person, but I love a good revenge story — especially when it’s political.

West Indies cricket in the 70s wasn’t just about winning. It was about shaking off colonial shame.

Cine-concert for Alice Guy. Eight silent films, live music by women, and the best cinema hall in Paris.

Alice Guy made 700+ films. She was the first woman filmmaker. But history forgot her.

It felt like the past was speaking.

My therapy practice is in the 20th — Paris’s secret village.

Cobblestones. Art deco churches. Local cafés. Creative energy that isn’t trying too hard.

Just 20 mins from Châtelet but feels like a world apart. Come for the therapy, stay for the neighbourhood.
