Episode 14 – I beat therapy and so can you!

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. SOME WEAR THERAPIST CARDIGANS. In today’s episode, we get into a new segment, called “Post-Game Analyses,” where we examine events that happened during our week, in therapy, or otherwise. In Olivia’s case, we talked about how tempting it can be to intervene when she sees a child seemingly in distress, as well as the legal and ethical boundaries of doing such a thing. It turns out, you can’t simply suplex people who are appearing to mistreat their children. In addition to explaining why you can't go Judge Dredd on seemingly-crappy parents, Olivia drops some incredible gems of wisdom and knowledge in here, as well as revealing how she regulates her emotions, in order to use her powers only for good. Tanya discusses how she stumbled upon her latent Daddy Issues, and how frustrating it can be, to feel like there’s a whole new steaming pile of healing to wade through, after having done the work for so many years. Lastly, we discuss the parallels between the BJJ and therapeutic journey, especially in how the work never stops, how prevalent the blue belt blues are, and how levelling up requires a solid foundation.

Episode 15 – Combat, Based ft. Alan Shebarro | Part 2

EPISODE SUMMARY In part two of this episode with Alan Shebarro, we talk about topics such as the question of whether or not to seek a therapist who’s qualified in treating veterans, the healing that comes from saying nothing at all with people who get it, the paradox of how curious we are for the welfare of others, but not ourselves, and how the mask we wear can suffocate us. Once again, we are honoured that Alan took the time to take his mask off and be vulnerable, all in the name of spreading the word of mental health awareness for veterans.
