Finding a therapist can be intimidating and, similar to dating, it can take  a few tries before you find someone you vibe with. We're here to tell you how normal that is.

This week on the pod: Tamara McMillan (@thecruciancounselor and @_greaterchanges) joins us to discuss the process of finding and vetting therapists as well as why all formats of therapy don’t work for everyone. ⁣We’ll get advice on what to look for, how to communicate expectations, how to track progress, advocate for diagnosis and what forms of therapy there are. ⁣Join the conversation by tagging us @gooduppod or using #gooduptuesday.

Have you ever heard of the phrase "toxic positivity?" Toxic positivity refers dismissing negative emotions and responding to distress with false reassurances rather than empathy. It comes from feeling uncomfortable with negative emotions. 

This week we discussed how toxic positivity can prevent us from showing up as empathetic, conscious friends. We talk the art of "complaining" and our thoughts on gratitude as it's been taught to us. We even touch on grief and how people show up for those in mourning. Join the conversation online using #gooduptuesday or tag us @gooduppod.
