69. men in therapy + stuff

This week on the pod, we have another fabulous guest! Join us and Meredith Reinbold, LCSW to chat about her work in men's mental health, including systemic barriers to therapy uptake by men, some common issues that men are facing today, and how we can encourage guys to turn inward and explore their feelings and behaviors without shame. Check out Meredith + her amazing work here: www.theconnectionspacenj.com and on instagram: @the_connection_space (  ⁨@JulBigGreen⁩  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCrNobpFZR4Ool6oRoHKrCfA] intro and outro music)

68. negative mindset + stuff

First off....NEW INTRO MUSIC! Thanks to our bestie Julian (@Jul Big Green, Producer and Composer) for the help! Now let's get to it. It's easy to slip under a black cloud and stay there. It's okay to vent and complain (let's be real...we all do it!) but when you regularly spiral and lean heavily on others for support, you can lose sight of what is really bugging you. Let's talk about acceptance, healthy venting, and toxic positivity. xoxo, Gaby + Less

67. recovery + stuff (ft. Keith Cole)

This week on the pod, we are joined by author and Marine Corps combat veteran Keith Cole, who graciously shares his experiences with trauma recovery, redemption, and self-awareness. Keith describes his mindset of military discipline and how he came face to face with his most vulnerable self. Join us for a chat about recovery, honesty, and seeking support.

66. addiction + stuff

addiction is as stigmatized as much as it is normalized. we're "addicted" to a product and it's fine! we're addicted to a substance and it's not (like, really not). where should we draw the line between loving how something (or someone!) makes us feel, and needing it to make it through the day? when does a "fix" become a problem and not a solution? let's chat about it. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE NEEDS HELP OR SUPPORT, PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR LOCAL RESOURCE/SUPPORT CENTER OR CRISIS LINE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO THROUGH IT ALONE, AND HELP IS AVAILABLE!

65. grad school myths + stuff

newbie therapists, listen up! we know. we all had to do it...but here's your crash course into the real-world therapist stuff, so that you're not blindsided when you try to use the sterile and inflexible rules of mock sessions in a real session with a real person and walking out thinking "w-t-f was THAT?"....here's a few things you should know. XOXO.
