Between Sessions

In Episode 4 of Between Sessions, we're tackling some of the most common questions, misconceptions, and myths about therapy.

Do you have to lie on a couch and talk about your childhood? Does your therapist judge you? Do you have to know what to talk about before you show up? And what actually happens behind that office door?

We're breaking down what therapy is (and what it isn't), answering questions people might be too nervous to ask, and taking some of the mystery out of the process. Whether you've been to therapy, are thinking about giving it a try, or are just curious about what really goes on, this episode is for you.

No judgment, no complicated clinical language, and definitely no lying on a couch required. Just honest conversations, a little mythbusting, and some insight into what it means to show up for yourself.

Because sometimes the biggest barrier to getting support is simply not knowing what to expect.

When does a relationship problem become something more?Every relationship has disagreements. People get frustrated, communication gets messy, and sometimes we hurt the people we care about.

But there's a difference between a relationship that's going through a rough patch and one where power and control are becoming part of the pattern.

In Episode 3 of Between Sessions, Megan Welke, LMSW-M, LMSW-C, sits down with Nicholas McKenzie, LPC, to talk about healthy relationships, unhealthy relationship patterns, and how to recognize the difference.We're getting into the questions that matter:

💬 What does a healthy relationship actually look like?

🚩 When do unhealthy patterns become red flags?

⚖️ What's the difference between conflict and control?

❤️‍🩹 How do we recognize patterns that might be affecting our relationships?

Because it's not about expecting relationships to be perfect. It's about understanding what makes them healthy, what makes them harmful, and what we can do about it.

👇 What's one thing you think every healthy relationship needs?

Mental health isn't just something we talk about when things fall apart. It's part of our everyday lives — how we communicate, how we handle stress, how we parent, how we build relationships, and how we make sense of the world around us.

That's why we created Between Sessions: to bring real conversations, quality information, and practical perspectives to our Great Lakes Bay Region community.

No complicated clinical language. No expectation that you have it all figured out. Just conversations that might make you think, laugh, or see something a little differently.
