Rewriting [Her]Story

This is such a divisive topic, we know. But let’s just take a moment to explore and really think about what we are reading on the internet. Just because someone’s reel says “my therapist said…” doesn’t make it real. I don’t know that we’ll ever stop talking about it this! Let’s get into it! Like, share, subscribe, rate and review!!

This week’s episode was inspired by an ethics course Stef had to take for her license. Self-disclosure is when the therapist shares something personal in session with clients. Old school rules state it’s a HUGE no, no. It’s 2024, is that still the case? Let’s get into it! Like, share, subscribe, rate and review!!

This week’s episode was brought to you by questions from clients. Sometimes, it’s easy to convince ourselves that there MUST be a different answer, approach, method etc. When in reality, the skills we teach can be used in a multitude of situations. When you are digging deeper into your own feelings, wants, and desires, YOU are the only one that can answer those questions. Stef and Mari discuss fin...

Let’s talk about how you can glamorize your life and be grateful for what it is RIGHT NOW! It’s so easy to get caught up in what is not going well, what we don’t have, or how we aren’t where we’re “supposed to be.” Instead, let’s focus on what we do have, what purpose our job serves, what we have accomplished. See where we are going with this?! Let’s get into it! Like, share, subscribe, rate and r...

This week’s episode was brought to you by real life experiences. Mari and Stef break down what it’s like to work with and engage with people who subscribe to completely different beliefs and what that looks like therapeutically. Having moral/core value differences can sometimes impede a therapeutic relationship, while other times it never comes up. Let’s get into it! Like, share, subscribe, rate a...

As you may or may not know, Stef is a certified sex therapist, and today’s episode breaks down what exactly that means.

We get a little fired up in this episode… Are you or someone you know, what we call a “yeah butter?” “Yeah , butters” are people who always have a reason to justify why they aren’t doing what they KNOW they need to be doing, or the ones who have tried something once and refused to ever try it again. This may trigger some of you and that’s a-okay, because that is where we reflect and make the chang...

This week’s episode may seem a little “all over the place”. What started as one topic morphed into others but it all made sense in the end. We began the episode by talking about body image and how we are inundated with social media telling us we aren’t enough. This then transitioned into all the ways we need to be taking care of ourselves and why that’s so fucking important! Like, share, subscribe...

This week’s episode was inspired by us “going through it”. Life is hard and as therapists we aren’t an exception to the rule. We won’t pretend like we don’t experience hardships because that would be a lie. This is a vulnerable episode but we felt it was necessary to share. Thankfully, as always, but the end we were both laughing again! Like, share, subscribe, rate and review!! We love you all so...

This week’s episode is a real and vulnerable topic. There is a misconception that as therapists we have it all figured out, we don’t struggle, and basically, we’re inhuman! Okay, maybe not inhuman, but I think people need to hear how we do struggle, how we are human, and how the stigma of us having all the answers or having our lives “all together” needs to be broken.

This week’s topic was a requested topic regarding how to feel your sad or hurt feelings without allowing them to consume you. In DBT, there is a skill called “riding the wave” that is used to manage unsafe urges (i.e. self-harm) that Mari and I also teach to sit with emotions that we deem uncomfortable, too much or too hard. This is an invaluable skill that once mastered is life changing. Like, sh...

Have you ever set a goal and the “deadline” is soon approaching and you haven’t completed it yet? What happens internally when you realize you may not make it? Do you continue to put yourself through the torture knowing it won’t help, spiraling in shame or all or nothing thinking? Or do you DECIDE you can change the goal/measurement of success/etc at any point in time because you are the creator o...
