Our gender identity and sexuality are intensely personal and nuanced facets of who we are as human beings, and finding a therapist who understands and accepts us for those facets, whatever they may be, can be incredibly daunting.
Karen and Kieran use this episode to create an open dialogue to help listeners better understand many of the common terms used to refer to gender, sexuality, and romantic relationships.
What You’ll LearnPsychiatry is a medical and mental health practice that lives somewhere between what we think of as medical care and mental health care. This episode aims to dispel the myth that psychiatrists can prescribe a pill to take all your problems away and clear the muddied waters around what psychiatric treatment looks like for patients, whether they're dealing with anxiety, depression, or managing chronic illness.
What You’ll LearnOn this week’s episode of So, How’s Therapy?, our guest is psychologist, coach, and expert in the field of therapy for men, Dr. Heather Stevenson.
There are certain boxes that our societies expects us to fit into, and these expectations change across cultures, generations, and genders. The world that we live in today holds men in particular to a standard of leadership, courage, and strength.
And that's exactly what we'll be discussing today.

Be sure to tune into episode 11 for the second half of our conversation.
On this week’s episode of So, How’s Therapy? I am joined by Tatyana Mestechkina, Ph.D. to dive deep into the topic of obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD.
Trigger Warning: Sexual Thoughts / Thoughts Of Harming Others: We discuss a few examples of intrusive thoughts within the context of OCD that have content of violent and/or sexual nature.
While the term OCD is commonly known, it is also commonly misunderstood. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is often portrayed in the media as someone who washes their hands over and over again, or someone who has to have everything in its place – but it’s much more than that.
Today we'll be demystifying OCD, and helping you understand it at a much deeper level.
