Adam Heckmann joins us to talk about how to listen and engage in a session with those who are sharing some deep emotions and feelings. Adam shares that clients really lead how the sessions go, and they set the pace. The truth about therapy is that the therapist isn't the one doing the work - the client is the one doing the work. "You are the expert on you - I hope to look from different perspectives and help you organize thoughts - but the work happens on the client side."

We decided to talk a little bit self-esteem and how we can love ourselves well. Melissa said "How we deal with other people, many times, can be informed by how we deal with ourself", so although some people look at "showing love to yourself" as selfish - it really isn't. The discussion talks about Guilt and Shame and we talk about how those are different things.

Also - on the front end of the episode, we share a lot about the group events we have coming up. We would love to have you join us for those!

Susan and Melissa sit down and talk about what healthy resolutions look like, and what they don’t. Setting goals for ourselves isn’t bad - but we shouldn’t beat ourselves up if it doesn’t go quite as planned.

Remember that this podcast isn’t a replacement for proper medical treatment. Mental health is a deeply personal thing, we hope you’ll seek out a one-on-one connection with a mental health professional if you feel you need it

We made it through December, so maybe now is a good time to check in on our stress level. Are you heading towards burnout? What does that look like and how can we manage stress before it boils over. 

We are so glad you are here listening, but remember that this is not a replacement for seeing a mental health professional. It’s important to make the appointment and see someone if you are struggling or just need to have a mental health check in.

Melissa and Susan venture into the topic of suicide. This time of year (holidays/winter) this can be a tough time for us - and our depression can sneak in. Talking about suicide is important - so that’s what we are doing.
