Hey y'all welcome back to ATP, Episode 6! Today was a fun one because we talk about boundaries. Ohhhh, the places you'll go when you have effective boundaries! But - am I the only one that STILL, in their late 20's, is figuring out how to implement and maintain boundaries across relationships?

Yeahhh, if this is you, stay for the ride as I dissect what adequate and effective boundaries can look like. Now, boundaries never mean people will always agree to respect them, but they are important as a way to advocate for yourself and your needs. This is just one of many perspectives and I hope you're able to reflect on what it could mean for you to implement your own boundaries, in your own special way.

Welcome back to ATP, Episode 4. Tonight we are getting real comfy with the topic of psychedelics. Specifically, my beloved friend, shrooms/mushrooms/psilocybin, however you have come to know them. We take a peak into my past as I recount tales from the crypt, discuss how I utilize psychedelics in my personal life now and in my own healing journey, and how I see it functioning within the world of therapy.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of more episodes to come - I'm thinking a series within a series? Hm.

Either way there's some important disclaimers in the intro so bear with me! Moving forward, please feel free to reach me with any critiques, feedback, comments, or requests via the podcast email: [email protected]

Name of the book stated in the episode: Psychedelics and Psychotherapy by Tim Read NOT Gabor Mate, my apologies*

See y'all next episode!

Welcome back to ATP, Episode 3. In this episode I discuss my own personal experiences of having a parent that is in recovery from their addiction. Though these are my personal experiences and stories, in no way or capacity are my opinions fact or all encompassing of the lived experiences of millions of people who are on their own journey of working through addiction. I am not an expert in addiction, and hope that this episode offers insight into the trials and tribulations of maintaining a relationship with a family member who is on their own journey with recovery. This is a heavy one y'all. As you join, please remember to take time to take care of yourself - whether that means stopping the episode as needed, or, finding ways to nurture yourself after. I care about you, and we got this <3

Welcome back to Episode 2, today join me as I discuss the time I got robbed in Costa Rica! And by "I", I mean my friends and I. Looking back, that shit was nothing short of hilarious and STILL does not put a damper on the beauty that Costa Rica was (I actually highly recommend visiting). So whether you're driving, shopping, or scratching your ass, listen with me as I discuss what happened and what I learned during my vacation. See you next time!

Well hello there - welcome to the very first episode of the All Things Psychological podcast! This one's a bit of a somber one so buckle up. As I reflected on 2021 and the shit show that it was, I was confronted with the reality of how much loss I endured in my life that year amidst a pandemic. Honestly, I'm sure we all experienced loss or grief in one form or the other. What seems to permeate through the optimistic cloud of 2022 (for me at least) is that there has been little acknowledgement of the impact of that loss on our sense of self. So, join me for today's episode as we reflect on the impact of loss on our emotions and the natural desire to dissociate from pain as a way to survive.
