Mariska often wonders if she is on the Autism spectrum, or if she is just anxious and has some sensory issues. In this episode we start off talking a bit about service animals and then we discuss some things to think about when we are talking about possibly being neuro atypical.

Mariska and I discuss our troubles with procrastination and some tips to get you moving.

In this episode Mariska and I reflect upon a fantastic opportunity we had to debrief and plan with a family as they discussed intimate partner violence and how to think about it with regard to the past and the future.

I also reference a cool opportunity for veterans to attend a sacred soldier retreat which introduces different modalities into healing from the folks at psychex:

In this episode Mariska and I reflect on feelings of worthiness and how we can give off subtle cues that we don't think much of ourselves.

I throw in a plug for my group on Forum:

In this episode Mariska and I push through my sinus infection to talk about how it feels when a client flakes out on a session and how many of my clients are dealing with a lack of sexual connection before their marriage has even started.

Mariska and I review Tim Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis. The title of this podcast is a bit misleading as the review won't change your life, but the book will.

We also talk about my group, starting 8/4/2024 Anxiety Free College Planning for parents of 11th-12th graders.

Mariska boycotts this pod until we get more positive reviews! In this episode we talk about where and how you can vent about your partner without it impacting their relationship with other people in your world. While that is our main point we start off with a good bit of information about Emotional Support Animals, and of course, Paws for Patrick.
