Not Ideal, But We're Going With It.

WE'RE BACK! Join us this week for the first time in a while as we update you on our lives! This episode is also the first of a two-part special on Self Protection, a critical maladaptive coping skill that can destroy our relationships - both with our loved ones and with ourselves. Thanks for sticking with us!

Join us this week for the second installment of our Coping Skills miniseries! Do you ever feel at a loss when your boundaries get crossed, unsure of how to appropriately communicate your thoughts or feelings? Or maybe you feel like you use your assertive voice TOO forcefully and end up alienating or hurting the people with whom you’re trying to foster healthy relationships? Well, this episode is for you! Listen in as we cover how to use your assertive voice, how to identify WHEN to use it, and how to honor yourself in a world where everyone has different values. We hope you enjoy listening, and we’ll see you next year!

Join us this week for the start of our new miniseries, "Coping Skills!" In this series of episodes, we walk through several different aspects of healthy coping. This week, we cover Core Values, which are the key to determining what your healthy boundaries are. Have you ever wondered why something bothers you and not others? Well, you’re about to find out! Stay tuned for more Coping Skills in the coming weeks!

Join us this week as we discuss (and argue) over how to navigate your relationships - both with yourself and others - in the aftermath of trauma. Vulnerability should increase as trust increases, but that can be hard for people with trauma! If that’s not interesting enough, there’s also a special guest appearance from a certain lawn-chores-obsessed husband.

Join us this week as we interview another guest STAR, Damien Linnane: an abuse survivor, ex-convict, world renowned artist, PhD candidate, and social activist. As an autistic trauma survivor, Damien walks us through his life story and how he got from prison to being a powerful voice for the vulnerable.
