E.4 Do you feel that you’re running on empty, moody, highly reactive, overly emotional? Perhaps you’re burnt out? In Episode 4, Lisha delves into the world of self-care, or lack there of with a "Hot Coffee" check-in tool that is sure to help you gauge if you are taking care of yourself. Have you ever gone your entire day without really sitting down, eating a full meal, drinking enough water and when you finally lay your head on the pillow, everything you didn’t get a chance to do that day floods your mind. You might simply need a break. Easier said than done, but Lisha has created a self-care gauge to help you notice throughout the day, when you might need to take some time to take a deep breath and engage in some self-care.

E.3 Lisha delves into the world of perfectionism and how it can be both a positive and negative trait and is well-engrained in our core belief system. At times, perfectionism can get us very far in certain aspects of our life, but when we experience life transitions, what once served us, may no longer be helpful. It may actually create more upheaval than good. Tune into this podcast if you want to learn more about perfectionist tendencies, why they are both positive and negative, how to turn down some of the noise that perfectionist tendencies tend to create internally, and why it is important to do so, for your overall mental health and well-being.

Lisha describes various ways you can narrow down your search for a therapist that fits. It is important to have some idea of what you’re looking for in terms of support and what specialization the therapist might possess in order to achieve your therapeutic goals. The primary message here, do not settle for someone that you feel you cannot be open and vulnerable with. This is your time, money and mental health, and that matters most.
