- "I Take Offense at That!"
Does it seem like everyone is easily offended today, and then blaming you for them being offended? This week's podcast address why we are so easily offended, how to avoid be offended and how therapy is an offense-free zone. The key for avoiding being offended and offensive is to keep looking internally rather than externally. We can experience a much happier and grateful life if we can stay focused and responsible for our own emotions, and pivot from blaming others.

36 min - Veteran Mental Health with Kaylie Willprecht
This week's podcast deepens our appreciation for those who have served in our military. Listening to this podcast helps our words of, "Thank you for your service." take on a much deeper meaning. Kaylie Willprecht, psychotherapist, veteran and current spouse of a veteran, shares the varied challenges confronting those in the military when trying to receive mental health services. Our goal for the podcast is to make therapy "approachable" for everyone to receive mental health care; and unfortunately, the brave people who serve our country can find therapy less approachable and need even more courage than a deployment. Listen and deepen your respect and appreciation for those who serve in our military.
