Too "emotionally attuned" for therapy to work on you? Are you aware of your problems but struggling to make moves towards actionable change? THIS is the episode for you!

In this episode of My Therapist Said, Stefanie tackles the struggle of being emotionally intelligent in therapy while getting lost in labels and diagnoses. Question is, are you actually emotionally attuned or is this your analytical mind create defense mechanisms? TikTok doesn't have all the answers and sometimes you being analytical about your emotions doesn't mean you have it all figured out. Therapy techniques aren't textbook anymore. So what does the future of mental health look like?

Tune in to see!

Sometimes, it's not all about you.

We all have shit going on. It's important to remember that when you get wrapped up in worrying about others choices and decisions. Having the ability to discern and then self-sooth by labeling emotions... That's what tomorrow's episode is all about.

Tune in!! (You'll also hear a story about me crying on the interstate so that's fun.)

Burnt out? Overwhelmed? Same.

In this New Year’s Eve episode of My Therapist Said, I, Stef, your host and a (very human) therapist, take you through the chaos of holiday meltdown, Christmas disasters (spoiler: I started a fire in my house), and the art of saying “no.” Sometimes, the plans you made feel all wrong, and trust me, it’s okay to change your mind—even at the last minute.

We’re diving into what it means to honor your gut, lean the hell out when you’re maxed out, and embrace rest without guilt. 2025 is the year of crash outs and selfishness.

Welcome to episode one of the Thoughts of Therapists series!

Stefanie brings on her friend, Leanne (AKA "the cussing therapist") to chit-chat about her work as a therapist. With over 15 years of experience, she has stories for days! From Pimps & Hoes parties to mansplaining nightmares, Stefanie & Leanne are breaking down boundaries and getting real about what it's like to be a therapist while balancing being a human in real life.

In this series, we are flipping the script. So tell me, how does that make YOU feel?

In this episode of My Therapist Said, Stef introduces an exciting new series called "Therapist Thoughts," where she will chat with fellow mental health professionals to explore the overlooked aspects of working in therapy.

In this episode of My Therapist Said, Stef gets real about gratitude. It's Thanksgiving and the number one question you better have an answer prepped for at the dinner table is "what are you grateful for?" Forget the usual clichés, let's challenge ourselves to dig a little bit deeper. It can be hard when you are in a mental health dip to really express gratitude beyond the obvious... of course I'm grateful for my family and my house. But what about your family, what about your house are you grateful for?

Join Stef for a discussion on how getting specific with our gratitude can help ground us in the moment and improve our overall outlook. Whether it's a cozy hoodie or a favorite mug, let's celebrate the little things that inspire a grateful attitude.

Ever hit a brick wall in therapy where you are just over it?

Therapy burnout is a real experience that many clients experience. In today's episode, Stefanie talks about what to do when you don’t know what to say in therapy and why it’s still worth showing up, even when it's the last thing you feel like doing. Stefanie opens up about her own experiences in therapy that led to her feeling burnt out as a client, her takeaways, and how she made it through.

Therapy is and always will be: No pressure, no expectation. Just show up.

What to say when you don't know what to say...

In this episode of "My Therapist Said," host Stefanie gets real about the awkwardness of navigating tough conversations. Kicking things off with a cheeky check-in—complete with her alien sweater —Stefanie dives right into the messy reality of supporting someone through grief and loss.

Forget the scripted responses; Stefanie lays it out: sometimes, you just don’t know what to say, and that’s totally okay. She flips the script on the pressure to have all the right words, emphasizing that genuine connection often comes from simply showing up, even in silence. With raw anecdotes from her own life, she illustrates how being honest and authentic can pack a bigger punch than the usual clichés.
