#36: Ask A Therapist: Coping With Addiction When You Feel Stuck | Theepana Siva, Registered Therapist

BOOK A SESSION WITH THEEPANA HERE: https://bbtherapy.ca/theepana/ [https://bbtherapy.ca/theepana/] Top Specialties: Addiction/Substance Use, Relationship Issues, PTSD, Emotion Regulation, and Anxiety In this episode of Ask A Therapist, I bring three listener-submitted questions directly to Theepana. • I’ve been struggling with addiction for a while now, and just recently relapsed. I never thought that could happen to me, but terribly sad to say it has. How can I make sure this doesn’t happen again? • I’ve been dealing with addiction for years now, but I don’t feel ready for therapy. What are some coping mechanisms I could use instead? • My addiction issues are affecting my relationship and I keep letting people down. It doesn’t seem like I can do anything right. Each question is answered with thoughtful insight, offering reassurance for anyone navigating relapse, shame, addiction, and the healing process. Please note that each of our therapists is fully trained and licensed. If you’re looking for someone whose services are covered by your insurance, check their profile for full details.

#34: Let's Talk Schema Therapy (and why you react the way you do) | Nikki Addario, Registered Therapist

BOOK A SESSION WITH NIKKI HERE: ⁠https://www.bbtherapy.ca/nikki [⁠https://www.bbtherapy.ca/nikki] Top Specialties: 2SLGBTQIA+, Mood Disorders, Teens & Adolescents, Emotional Regulation, and Trauma Nikki Addario is a registered therapist offering individual therapy in Mississauga and virtually. She supports clients navigating mood disorders, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, and identity-related concerns, including those within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Nikki creates a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space, using schema therapy to help clients better understand themselves while building insight, flexibility, and self-compassion. In this episode, Nikki introduces schema therapy - an approach that explores the deeper patterns (or “schemas”) that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. The episode also highlights how schema therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Nikki shares how she adapts this approach to each individual client, making the work flexible, personalized, and deeply relevant to their unique experiences. Finally, Brooke and Nikki reflect on the value of understanding our patterns with curiosity rather than judgment, and how this awareness can open the door to meaningful, lasting change. Please note that each of these practitioners is fully trained and licensed. If you’re looking for someone whose services are covered by your insurance, check their profile for full details.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
