In Zessions Episode 8 with Katie Bates, LPC, we are talking about the difference between punitive punishment and positive discipline. Katie defines what it means to positively discipline your kids and explains why it’s important to evolve into having parent-child relationships that have mutual trust and respect.

When listening to this Zession, we hope you’ll gain an understanding of how to identify your own triggers and boundaries as a parent in order to better control your emotions in order to have adaptive and growth-oriented conversations with your kids. If you feel like you and your kids are struggling to understand one another, this episode may be a great starting point to help you understand how to foster a safe space for them in order to build a better bond and help break the cycle of teaching through punishment.

In Zessions Episode 5, we are sitting down with Adriana Rodriguez to discuss collectivist culture. In this podcast, we discuss collectivist cultures versus individualistic cultures. We hope you will gain an understanding of how to balance your own identity with the one that was given to you by your family, how to balance who you were and who you are becoming, and how to even have these difficult conversations with your family. Adriana explains her own emergence from collectivist culture and how she helps others peel back ‘threads of their own rope’ and see what works for them from their culture and what they want to change in order to live a life of fulfillment and acceptance of who they are.

In Zession Episode 4, Zessio's Co-Founders, Sapna and Mandi, sit with one another to discuss a common cognitive distortion, black and white thinking. They discuss how easy it can be to fall into black and white thinking as you interact with yourself and the world. Sapna and Mandi talk through how to recognize when you may be falling into this thought trap and how to begin increasing cognitive flexibility- or finding more of the gray and staying open to more enriching perspectives.

In Zession Episode 3, we sit down with fellow therapist, Bri Craig to discuss their journey as a collaborative therapist. Through this form of therapy, there is a huge focus on client-therapist relations, and an emphasis on the therapist being a helping hand in their client’s journey. In this podcast episode, we talk a lot with Bri about their goal to remove the hierarchical relationship between the client and therapist, and rather, aid in the growth of their client in the space they have created together. In collaborative therapy, the therapist urges their client to communicate their needs and consistently encourages full transparency. Collaborative therapists take the extra step to adapt to their clients and nurture them in the way that best suits their needs.
