Season 2, Ep 2: Who is your therapist?

If you've ever wondered what happens before or after a session, then you're going to want to tune in! In this episode, Amanda talks about what it's like to be a therapist behind-the-scenes because understanding who your therapist just might be the missing piece to finding the right mental health care for you. Learn about some of the different types of licensed therapists there are, why things might not click between you and therapist, what might go into their scheduling and fees, and all the other messy and complicated things your therapist might be working through to provide the best care for you or a loved one.

Season 1, Ep 4: Things feel too heavy

On top of everything happening in your personal life, there's a lot going on in the world right now that might be making things feel even heavier and overwhelming to deal with. Today, we're learning how to navigate the heaviness that stops us in our tracks and makes us want to give up. This episode briefly mentions (but does not go into detail about) the pandemic, the current US political landscape, and violence.

Season 1, Ep 3: I'm not ready for therapy

Sometimes we know we need professional mental health help, but that doesn't mean we're ready to go for it yet. There's a lot of reasons people procrastinate seeking out therapy, but one of the biggest (besides money) is facing the monsters we know have been hiding in the darkness all these years. Today, I'm taking a look at the things that compel us toward change and the fear that holds us back from actually doing it. This episode is raw and intense, but I hope it gives you some courage to take that first step toward healing when you're ready.
