Another Audio Scrapbook! Today I am talking about the topic of "Bad Therapy" based on the book of the same title by Abigail Shrier. This has been on my mind a long time now, I hope you enjoy and feel free to share your thoughts!

Welcome to the second episode of the Audio Scrapbook series where I research a mental health topic and interview my friends and my kids for their thoughts.

Today, Stephanie and I talk about our first "mom therapy" topic. This topic was a recommendation from one of our listeners. Please leave us a comment or write to us about any requested topics!

Today our interview is with Marika Courtney, licensed professional clinical counselor. Enjoy getting to know Marika!

Hi Everyone! We are back with a new kind of episode today! I interviewed my therapists so that you all can get to know them. This could be helpful if you are trying to find a therapist and want to make sure you are getting the right fit. Enjoy my interview with Stephanie Kemme, licensed professional clinical counselor supervisor.

Brian and I finish our discussion on finding the right therapist for you. Now that you have nailed down two or three therapists that you think would be a good find, it's time for the free consult. What questions should you ask? What information should you know? What should you walk away feeling? Find out in today's episode! Thanks for listening! Like and subscribe!

So you've decided you want to give therapy a try... now what? Have you ever wondered how to find a therapist? In this episode, Brian and I discuss the ins and outs of different therapy practices, access to services, treatment modalities, and more! Join us for your "How To" guide on finding the right therapist for you!

Brian and I discuss homework in therapy this week. Brian calls it "Life work" and we discuss how we use life work assignments in therapy sessions with clients and how beneficial they can be.

Today, Brian and I talk about Optimism. This isn't meant to be a pep talk or a sales pitch for adding more optimism in your life, we talk about real reasons why a balance of optimism and pessimism may be the healthiest thing for you. Enjoy!

Today's episode is a little bit different. This is the first episode in a new series that I am calling my "Audio Scrapbook". It is basically a collection of the sounds and stories of my life as a therapist and mother. These episodes are more casual, letting you get to know me more closely. I will not be talking about research or interviewing experts, instead I'll be spewing my anxieties, thoughts, and feelings about mental health and mothering in a new creative outlet. I hope you enjoy!
