The Unknown

In this episode we explore The Unknown (tm) What even is the unknown? What are examples of experiencing unknown in day to day life as well as big life events? How often are we afraid of the unknown versus afraid our experience will not meet our hopes or expectations?  We talk about all these questions as well as trusting faith and when it teeters into looking for control or certainty. Living from a place of love rather than fear. And the subtle difference in searching and openness. Resources mentioned are "How We Live is How We Die" by Pema Chödrön, "The Universe Has your Back" By Gabby Bernstein, and "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe" by Laura Lynne Jackson. #indygrammers #podcast #relationalselfawareness #boundaries #communication #selfawareness #therapistsofinstagram #theunknown #fucknice #therapy #mentalhealth

Relationships Part 2

In relationships part 2 we focus on exploring a tool called the non-escalator relationship menu. Shared with us by a friend who first discovered the menu on reddit (thank you internet crowdsourcing!) This tool is awesome. Chelsea believes that if everyone filled this form out and walked around with and exchanged with others, we would get to the core of compatibility a lot faster. One of my requirements is hourly texting and you don't own a phone? Oh? Easy, we should NOT date." This sounds dry as I type it but truly, this tool is awesome. And we cover only three sub items on this episode so it becomes clear how much this menu can open up conversations for those interested in being in connection with someone else. https://www.amorywellness.com/_files/ugd/4f6a21_44ae73d7c6da4a4694d75422f3f9a79d.pdf?index=true #indygrammers #podcast #relationalselfawareness #boundaries #communication #selfawareness #therapistsofinstagram #relationships  #fucknice #therapy #mentalhealth
