Therapy: Behind the Couch

Wrapping up Season 1 of “Therapy: Behind the Couch” with the hilariously vulnerable, and also practical (how NOT to get catfished) advice from our brilliant therapists on How to Handle: Dating!

Cozy up with Dr. D, Kimberly Lee, and Charity as they go down the rabbit-hole of plus-size dating, post-divorce abstinence, being an E-Harmony “expert”, when to introduce kids to your special someone, and so much more!

Be enthralled by the warmth, brilliance, and loving chemistry of these three women who seek to love, support, and uplift each other, and everyone who listens.

While this whole episode is full of wisdom, enjoy these two pieces of advice from our resident Marriage and Sex Therapist: 

- “If your “I am’s” are off (ex: I am not enough) your picker will be off, and you will pick the wrong man.”

 - “If you can’t disappoint people then you’re not ready to date!”

We love you all, and hope you will consider sponsoring Season 2 of “Therapy: Behind the Couch” where we will kick off with a series on “Aging”.

As we wrap up Season 1 of "Therapy: Behind the Couch", we are facilitating a "How to Handle" series and our first episode is centered around politics.

It's an election year and saying, "Times are stressful," isn't novel or helpful. Instead, we hope that this conversation with two brilliant therapists, and one inquisitive facilitator, will 1) make you feel supported; 2) give some psychological framing and help you make sense of how you've been feeling; and 3) help you self-reflect and move forward in community during a time of great divide.

You are not alone, and we pray peace over you.

"The Lipstick Network" (TLN) is a global community of legacy-minded women, and we are committed to helping women generation "passion income" all over the world!

"Therapy: Behind the Couch" is produced by Charity Wright Golden of The Lipstick Network.

"The Anxious Generation" - Dr. Jonathan Haidt's latest book talks about the impact of social media on developing minds and decimated childhood.

We, at "Behind the Couch", are using this book, the Surgeon General's Warning, Inside/Out 2, and Dr. D's dating life as points-of-reference for our conversation.

We hope this conversation gives your courage to make some tough decisions, comforts you to know that you're NOT alone, and that genuine connection and conversation can have generational impact if we so choose!

There is light and hope through the darkness, frustration, and anxiety, so buckle up and tune in: we are for you!

This week, our brilliant therapists, Dr. D and Kimberly Lee, and cheeky host, Charity, talk to us about "Bias": what is it, and how our biases impact how we see others, make decisions, and react.

A tenant of "Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy" (RODBT) is that "we see things as WE are, not as they are"...so buckle up! Get ready to be tooled, challenged, comforted, and laugh!

This week's episode is honestly the BEST episode yet!

Are we all really narcissists...?....(pause for dramatic effect)...

NO!

Dr. D and Kimberly Lee go deep into the truths, definitions, and diagnoses (or distaste thereof) of narcissism whilst talking a wee bit of "smack" about Vanderpump Rules!

This conversation is vulnerable, educational, hilarious (with healthy side-eye) and will help you feel less crazy if someone in your life is a true Narcissist (not according to Dr. Google). It will also challenge your preconceived notions, and encourage you if you're feeling helpless or isolated. You are NOT! We are here advocating for you!

With “Mother’s Day” approaching, we thought it important to have a REAL, raw conversation about Motherhood…or not (aka Motherless-ness). There are so many emotions that surround this holiday that we wanted to be safe place to say and feel wherever you are on the spectrum of motherhood; whether your mom is gone, you don’t have children, or you’re a person who wants to better understand why this holiday is hard, “Behind the Couch” has you covered. 

The beauty of “Behind the Couch” is that each episode is a peak behind the curtain of “process”, where you get real therapists talking in REAL ways about hard things. You will hear the mutual respect and adoration, Dr. D, Kimberly Lee, and Charity share is they laugh, grieve, and speak-life into one another. This is “women supporting women” in a real way, not a hashtag-way. This beautiful episode will make you laugh, and break your heart all at the same time, because we, as women, hold “the multitudes”.

Topics include: miscarriage, selflessness, infertility, faith, estrangement, identity-loss, prayer, and shame, so please take care as you need.
