Therapy, Without the Couch

I discuss the belief that we can just have love, health, and success due to luck, or the universe. When if fact a great deal of effort goes into obtaining and keeping these positives in our lives. We need not fear steps toward being in love or on shape, and instead see how this gives us control and direction towards what we want.

We explore the multiple avenues of mental and physical healing that sit outside of traditional Western medicine and pharmacology. Considering the way these techniques have been pushed down as they were the domain of women or indigenous people, and thus not as valued by Big Pharma or Western medical providers. I call myself out on my own ignorance and history of downplaying these methodologies. We cover grounding, plant medicine, somatic healing, energy release, time in nature, and more.

This episode reviews the need for emotional or energetic release for mental health benefits. We discuss the varied way to offload your energy, using gross but memorable metaphors and analogies. You will learn at least 5 new ways to cope with your emotions by getting them off your chest and shoulders.

I give 3-4 lessons from couples therapy that should help you see your relationship differently. Looking at the relationship as a house helps you learn and retain the lessons.

I discuss the difference between the "ick," red flags, and personal issues when looking at relationships through the lens of the show "nobody wants this."
