What's therapy going to do for me?

Can't we just move on?

It's always tempting to bury our difficult or painful experiences, and move on from them as quickly as possible. But in today's episode, Gloria and Jordan discuss why it's important to pause, and sit with these memories a bit longer. Not only does that help us process how these moments impact us, but it also allows us to move forward in a healthier way.  -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.

Can't we just stop fighting?

Gloria and Jordan discuss how fighting — whether it be with a partner, a friend, or a family member — can actually be a very useful therapeutic tool. Sometimes, arguing turns into a kind of competition, with a winner and a loser at the end. But these moments of friction can also reveal important things about ourselves and our loved ones, which, in turn, help us build stronger relationships in the future.  -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.

What's the point of feeling bad?

Gloria and Jordan explore the difficult, often uncomfortable places that therapy can take us, and why those moments matter. Staying with a painful feeling can feel, well, painful. But in order to better understand ourselves and our experiences, it's important to sit with these sensations a little bit longer. -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.

What does the past have to do with me now?

Gloria and Jordan discuss the importance of the past on our present lives. Sometimes, it feels counterintuitive to look back in order to move forward. So, how does history — of our own lives and the lives of our ancestors — guide us toward a better understanding of ourselves now? -   Find us: Nothing To Fix substack [https://substack.com/@nothingtofixpod] Tip us on Kofi [https://ko-fi.com/nothingtofixpod] Instagram: @nothingtofixpod Email: nothingtofixpod@gmail.com Website: nothingtofixpod.com [https://nothingtofixpod.com/] - Nothing To Fix is produced by Georgia Hampton, with promotion by Isabelle Haines, and logo design by Breanna Smith.
