This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are joined by one of their amazing clinicians from their therapy practice, Dr. Lindsay Haston! Lindsay talks to us about where to begin when releasing control, letting go of control both externally and internally, and why fear can hold us back. She discusses the main modality she uses with her clients, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and what it entails. Lindsay explains some facets of ACT like accepting things as neutral vs. good or bad and how to work to stop negative thoughts in their tracks. We get to hear what Lindsay is calling BS on and why she doesn't like when her clients refer to themselves as a "control freak." You don't want to miss this one!

This week's episode is a re-release of one of Emmalee and Jen's favorite episodes. They want to model what they often share, which is the importance of resting and taking breaks in order to continue to show up as the best versions of themselves. The topic is one that constantly receives questions: what to do when the people in your life aren't "doing the work?" Whether that's your family member, friend, co-worker, or partner, Emmalee and Jen are answering your questions about the frustrations that can occur when it feels like you're the only one working on yourself. They discuss tangible tips, firm boundaries, their thoughts on being called "too sensitive," passive aggression, resentment and the emotions underneath it, changing relational dynamics, and so much more. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 6 minutes to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are explaining the difference between having empathy for someone vs. enabling someone, as they can feel very similar. They start off the episode by sharing ways to recognize the line between the two and speak on why it can be challenging to shift the dynamic in a relationship where we're enabling. Emmalee and Jen discuss how to apply this same logic to ourselves (i.e. holding self accountable in a gentle way), ways they have enabled one another as well as their partners, what maternal gatekeeping means and how it can lead to resentment, what to do when a family member enables another family member, plus boundaries, boundaries, and more boundaries!

Today on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are joined by two incredible guests, Dr. Sophia Brandstetter and Karen Smith, LCSW! Both Sophia and Karen are therapists who have advanced training in and specialize in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Together, they discuss who is a candidate for KAP, a detailed explanation of what KAP looks like, KAP in a group setting vs. individual setting and what the group process entails, and information for those who may feel tentative about the idea. Sophia and Karen share how they each got into this work and why. They discuss why it can be so hard to connect with our unconscious mind and how KAP has the ability to bring down our defenses in order to do so. Tune in for an educational, insightful, and entertaining conversation! PS: There is no intro for today's episode - join us right away for the content!
