    • The Breakup We Stay Hush About ... Friendship Breakups

      In this episode of Conversations Brewing Podcast, hosts Divya and Ravisha dive into the tough topic of friendship break-ups. While romantic break-ups are often the focus of media and pop culture, friendship break-ups can be just as difficult and emotionally taxing.

      The CB duo provides helpful tips for coping with friendship break-ups, including allowing yourself time to grieve, seeking support from other friends or a therapist, and taking time to reflect on what you learned from the friendship. They also discuss the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing when it may be time to let go of a toxic friendship.

      Divya and Ravisha get vulnerable as they offer personal anecdotes and insights, as well as practical advice for anyone struggling with the end of a friendship.

    • The Do's and Don'ts of Finding a Therapist

      Welcome to this episode on finding the right therapist. In this episode, we'll talk about normalizing the difficulties of finding a therapist, the steps to take before looking for a therapist, finding a therapist, and what to do after you start with a therapist.

      The CB duo starts by recognizing that it's okay to be picky about finding the right therapist, and it may take a few tries to find the right fit. A therapist is ultimately a relationship; not all relationships are good fits. Research has confirmed that the therapeutic relationship itself is essential to the success a patient experiences. They remind listeners that there is no shame in seeking help from a therapist, and we need to work through any stigma around mental health treatment to allow ourselves to see a therapist.

      In this episode, you will learn...

      • The steps the CB duo took in finding a therapist
      • Understanding your needs in therapy
      • How to navigate insurance and find a perfect fit for you
      • The steps to start therapy
      • What to do after starting with a therapist
