This Way In

Why do some relationships feel safe and easy while others leave us anxious, distant, confused, or desperately trying to hold on?

In this episode, Amy and Brittney dig into attachment and the ways our earliest relationships can shape how we connect with other people throughout our lives. Brittney explains the difference between bonding and attachment, what children actually need from their caregivers, and how those needs can affect our relationships long after childhood.

They break down secure attachment and the three types of insecure attachment: avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized. Along the way, they talk about why familiar relationship patterns can be so difficult to recognize, how attachment wounds can get passed from one generation to the next, and why our childhood experiences can continue showing up in adult relationships even when we have no idea they're running the show.

They also explore some attachment needs that may sound simple but can have a huge impact, including healthy limits and boundaries, validation, reassurance, loving correction, emotional attunement, and simply delighting in a child for being who they are.

And because discovering your own “attachment junk” isn't exactly the cheeriest revelation, Brittney explains why none of this means we're permanently stuck with the patterns we learned growing up. Attachment wounds can be worked on, and approaches including EMDR and ego state work can help adults begin meeting needs that weren't met earlier in life.

Because, as Amy puts it, everybody's got some sh*t they gotta work out.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, trauma, dysfunctional family relationships, and other potentially sensitive topics.

This Way In is a conversation about mental health and everyday well-being, but it is not therapy. The information shared is for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not replace care or advice from a qualified mental health professional.

In this episode, Amy and Brittney dig into PTSD: what actually qualifies for a diagnosis, how trauma can affect the brain and body, and why the symptoms can look very different from person to person.

They explore flashbacks, avoidance, hypervigilance, dissociation, emotional numbness, and the difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma. Brittney also explains complex PTSD, how trauma symptoms can overlap with conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and how severe trauma can sometimes involve hallucinations and delusions.

Plus, they talk about the role attachment and support systems play in trauma, why the body can hold onto experiences even when our conscious memory doesn’t, and treatment approaches including EMDR, ego state therapy, CBT, and DBT.

They also discuss the fear that can come with starting trauma therapy, why healing sometimes means going slowly, and the vicarious trauma experienced by first responders, therapists, and others who regularly witness or hear about traumatic events.

As always, this conversation is for education and discussion and is not a substitute for individualized mental health care.

Bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder may have similar names and some overlapping symptoms, but they are very different diagnoses.

In this episode, Amy and Brittney break down the differences between bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, including depression, mania and hypomania, emotional reactivity, impulsivity, attachment, and fear of abandonment. They also look at where symptoms can overlap and why telling the difference isn't always as straightforward as it seems.

Along the way, they use examples from King of the Hill, Shameless, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Girl, Interrupted, and even Star Wars to help put some of these symptoms into context. They also discuss sleep, medication, support systems, routines, and other tools that may help manage symptoms.

Plus: Amy learns that apparently starting with the same letter is enough for her brain to file two completely different diagnoses in the same folder.

Depression is much more than feeling sad. It can affect your body, your thoughts, your motivation, and the way you experience the world around you.

In this episode, Amy and licensed therapist Brittney Baxter Dameron explore the symptoms of depression, how it differs from grief and everyday sadness, why depression often overlaps with anxiety, and what it actually feels like to live with it. They also discuss practical ways to support yourself or someone you love, from building meaningful connections to finding small steps that can help break through the shutdown response.

What does a panic attack actually feel like? How is it different from everyday stress or generalized anxiety? And why can anxiety make you feel like you're having a heart attack when you're perfectly safe?

In this episode of This Way In, Amy shares her firsthand experience with panic attacks while Brittney explains what's happening in the brain and body during both panic attacks and generalized anxiety disorder. Together, they explore common symptoms, why anxiety can seem to come out of nowhere, how panic disorder differs from generalized anxiety, and practical grounding techniques that can help calm the nervous system.

Whether you've experienced anxiety yourself or want to better understand someone who has, this episode offers compassionate, practical insight into one of the most common mental health conditions.

Have you ever wondered if you have ADHD... or if something else might be causing similar symptoms?

In this first episode of our new Symptoms & Diagnoses series, licensed therapist Brittney joins Amy to unpack The Many Faces of ADHD. Together they explore the differences between inattentive, hyperactive, and combined presentations of ADHD, why self-diagnosis can be misleading, and how conditions like anxiety, PTSD, and depression can sometimes look remarkably similar. They also discuss what ADHD symptoms actually feel like, why they develop differently from person to person, and how understanding your brain can be a powerful first step toward self-compassion.

Whether you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or simply want to better understand yourself or someone you love, this episode offers practical insights without judgment. Brittney shares real-world strategies for managing both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms, explains why getting the right diagnosis matters, and reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a unique person, not just a checklist.

Sleep. We all need it. Most of us aren’t getting enough of it. And somehow we still treat it like an optional side quest instead of basic human maintenance.

In this episode of This Way In, Amy and Brittney tumble headfirst into the strange, fascinating world of sleep. From circadian rhythms and sleep hygiene to stress dreams, lucid dreaming, REM cycles, and the very real effects poor sleep can have on your brain and body, this conversation wanders through both the science and the deeply human side of what happens when we close our eyes.

Amy's Note: At the time we were recording we were having some technicians here installing our furnace. So I had to stop a few times to talk to them, and also the little dog barked incessantly. I tried to cut her out, but it was only possible when I was not talking 

They talk about:

·        Why sleep affects far more than just energy levels

·        The connection between sleep and long-term brain health

·        Sleep routines that actually work in real life

·        Why some people are night owls and others aren’t

·        Dream symbolism, lucid dreaming, and those “wait… was that real?” dreams

·        Emotional dreams that stick with you all day

·        Why alarms are basically tiny panic attacks

·        The myth of “catching up” on sleep

·        Dogs who believe breakfast should happen at 5:42 AM sharp

There’s science. There’s woo. There’s laughter. There’s existential dread about dementia. Basically: classic This Way In.

And yes... there is also a very vocal tiny dog making her opinions known throughout portions of the recording. At the time, Amy was also dealing with furnace technicians in the house, so despite editing efforts, some background chaos survived the final cut. Honestly? It feels on-brand for a conversation about disrupted sleep.

So fluff your pillow, silence your notifications (or don’t, we discuss that too), and join us as we wander This Way In… to your sleep.

What does it actually mean to “reset your nervous system”? Is that even a real thing… or just another TikTok buzz phrase floating through the algorithm swamp?

In this episode, Amy and therapist Brittney Baxter Dameron dig into what the nervous system actually does, why our bodies react the way they do to stress, and why “calming down” is a lot more complicated than somebody yelling “just relax!” from across the room like an emotionally constipated camp counselor.

They explore the difference between real threats and perceived threats, how cortisol and adrenaline affect the body, and why chronic stress can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally fried, and stuck in survival mode. The conversation also covers the vagus nerve, fight/flight/freeze responses, and practical ways to give your nervous system a much-needed reprieve during difficult times.

Amy shares some of the tools that genuinely help her sleep and regulate stress, including guided sleep meditations, binaural beats, color-noise soundscapes, sleep stories, and even a surprisingly soothing color-by-number app that apparently relaxes her enough to convince her smartwatch she’s unconscious. Which honestly feels like a glowing review.

Brittney also explains:

·        Why meditation doesn’t have to look like sitting cross-legged chanting “ohm”

·        How creativity and sensory comfort can help regulate stress

·        Why sleep is one of the most powerful nervous system reprieves we have

·        The difference between healthy coping mechanisms and stress-relief behaviors that create even bigger problems later

·        How to recognize when your body is trying to tell you something important

This episode also contains a very honest conversation about living through stressful and uncertain times, navigating fear and helplessness, and finding sustainable ways to care for yourself without shutting down completely.

So grab your coziest blanket, your comfort beverage, and maybe a pair of headphones for those binaural beats… and join us as we find our way into the strange, complicated world of stress, survival, and nervous system reprieves.

WE'RE BACK!!!

After a "short" hiatus we are back!

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming. What do all those letters after their name mean? What’s the difference between therapy and counseling? And how do you know if the person sitting across from you is actually the right fit?

In this episode of This Way In, we unpack what therapy really is (and what it definitely isn’t), how to clarify what you want from the process, and how to tell if a therapist is helping you move forward—or if it’s time to try someone new. We also talk about telehealth, online therapy platforms, insurance realities, and the red flags to watch for. If you’ve ever wondered where to start—or whether you’re even “doing therapy right”—this conversation will help you feel more confident taking that next step.

In this final episode of our Parts of Self series, we take a deep dive into the Logical Part. We explore what it does best, how it works with other parts, and what happens when it gets pushed out of the driver’s seat.

Logical is not emotionless or cold. When it is unburdened, it helps us problem-solve, reflect without spiraling, and navigate stress in a grounded and realistic way. When it becomes overwhelmed or co-opted by other parts, especially Critical or Protector, it can shut down or begin justifying behaviors that do not actually align with our values.

We also zoom out to look at how all parts work together, why balance matters more than control, and how logical thinking intersects with intuition, spirituality, and lived experience.

As part of the series wrap-up, Brittney walks through a practical overview of Parts of Self work, including how to create a mental meeting space, how to work with parts even if you cannot visualize, why physical sensations are often the clearest signal that parts work is active, and when doing this work on your own is appropriate versus when it is time to bring in a therapist.

We talk honestly about trauma containment, why parts exist in the first place, and how to approach this work safely and compassionately.

This episode brings together everything we have covered in the series and sets the stage for what comes next. This is not the end of the conversation, but a solid place to pause and integrate.
