Relationship Dish

This week the therapists dish on the kindness of strangers as they remember the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Within the darkness that unfolded, there were many stories of human connection, vulnerability and love. One particular story is the Gander, Newfoundland story in which a small town opened their hearts, resources and wallets to almost 7,000 stranded passengers from around the world. Listen in and learn why those acts of kindness have both emotional and physical benefits for us all and what can get in the way. Love even when it's foolish to do so.

It's back to school time and this week the therapists dish and dive about the anxiety they experience around this time of year.

Why, even as adults, do we experience back to school jitters and anxiety? Well, the literature shows that we're not alone. Listen in and learn how you can ride through the early days of September with less anxiety and more joy!

This week the therapists look at how and why we get more stuck in our negative emotions and experiences than in our positive ones.

Pam and Iona both have a tendency toward negative bias- recalling and ruminating about negative experiences more so than the joyful ones. Through their dive into the literature, they learn why this is adaptive yet shortsighted and unbalanced.

Listen in and learn how you can have a more joyful life.

Listen in this week as the therapists wonder if therapy is helpful after all.

They discuss the different types of therapy models out there and determine just how useful each one is. Listen in so you can make informed choices about your own therapy!

This week the therapists dish and dive about jealousy.

Iona's had an episode of feeling very jealous, which catches her off guard. Pam weighs in on how those ugly feelings have raised their head repeatedly throughout her relationship as well.

Listen in as they dive into the literature about the function of jealousy and learn how to reign in that wild beast.

This week the therapists finish their discussion about trauma with a dive into the literature about trauma.

We learn about the different types of trauma, how it develops and how to treat it. Not all trauma is created equal and the more you know, the more you can do to manage, move past and even grow from the trauma in your own life.

This week the therapists dish extensively about their own experience with trauma and the ongoing impact these traumas have had on their lives.

There is no dive this week folks, just juicy dishing! Stay tuned for next week's dive into the trauma literature.
