- Welcome to Start With What Hurts
A 60-second welcome to Start With What Hurts, a weekly podcast with Lisa Reidsema, LMHC. Each episode takes one pattern you've felt but never quite had language for, names what's happening underneath it, and leaves you with one small practice you can use that day. It's short, unhurried, and free. Follow the show so you don't miss the first episode.
Every episode is written, reviewed, and clinically directed by Lisa Reidsema, LMHC, and narrated in her own approved voice. Start With What Hurts is educational. It isn't therapy or a substitute for care from a licensed clinician. If you're in crisis, please reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US, or your local emergency services.

About Start With What Hurts Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Each week, Lisa Reidsema, a licensed mental health counselor, takes one pattern, the kind of thing you've felt but never quite had language for, and does what her Library of Care does: she names…
what's happening underneath, explains the mechanism instead of moralizing, and leaves you with one small practice you can try the same day. These are short, unhurried episodes, closer to a real conversation than a lecture. You'll hear why a feeling that makes no sense on paper can run so much of your life, the difference between the story you tell about a pattern and the mechanism actually driving it, and honest talk about what these tools can and can't do, from a clinician who won't oversell them. Nothing here is a sales pitch. The podcast is free, and it stays free. If it becomes your way in, every episode points to a resource built for exactly what it covers, a kit, a workbook, or an exercise from the same method. Start with what hurts, and let's understand it together.
