As therapists working with clients who are always striving for self improvement, inevitably we always end up talking about motivation. Motivation to meet goals, eat healthy, workout, create a budget and stick to it, decrease mental illness and increase self care practices. Brian and I talk today about motivation and how to create the life you want to live regardless of your motivation level. 

This week Brian and I talk about how therapy can sometimes feel scary when there isn't a specific direction or clear plan for progress. Listen to find out how therapists sometimes "wing it" in session. 

Brian Valasek, from Beyond Your Valley Counseling, and I talk about what clients can expect from therapy and how to handle difficult scenarios with their therapist. This is the first of a series of episodes with Brian. 

Amy educates me on Polyvagal Theory and we talk about how to incorporate the strategies in every day life. 

In this episode, Emily and I tackle some tough issues. This episode is done in an open and conversational style. *Disclaimer*- For the purpose of portraying a hard conversation, my responses have been dramatized at times. My responses do not necessarily intend to show my true beliefs about certain topics.*

My friend and colleague Emily and I chat about having emotions in the workplace, how to talk to your boss about them, and how management can better serve their employees needs.

Self Disclosure is a fancy term for therapists' talking about themselves in session. Find out how it can be therapeutic and sometimes not so much. I welcome Caitlin Yilmazer back again for this episode. 

My guest is Caitlin Yilmazer, a gender therapist in Cincinnati. I get educated on basic vocabulary, concepts, and get answers to all my burning questions.
