Clichés are clichés for a reason. They stick.
And while I wouldn't consider these topics necessarily cliché, when I notice a recurrence of something, I take note.
These are the 5 conversations I have weekly (sometimes even daily!!) in my practice as a licensed therapist. I hope that in sharing these conversations, you will feel a combination of validation, encouragement, challenge to edification, and an understanding that (if these topics resonate with you) these are COMMON and you are not alone in your experiences. Like i said...weekly, sometimes daily!!!
The Conversation topics include:
- Urgency as the Enemy
- Mind-Reading is NOT a superpower
- Ignorance Truly is Bliss, but Insight is Power.
- Its Not All About You (and that's a good thing)
- Body-First-Regulation
- BONUS: Fidget For Life.
In addition to these topics, this episode includes fun little life updates, my mountain bike trip to SLC, and a triathlon training update: how my first Olympic distance went, my new plan for training moving forward, how I'm taking my own medicine.
As mentioned in this episode, I was recently a guest on The Average Climber Podcast (another Plugtone Collective show) to discuss mental health as it relates to rock climbing and outdoor athletics in general. This show was a HOOT. Lots of laughter, lots of insight. Check that episode #39 wherever you get your pods, or here: https://www.plugtoneaudio.com/the-average-climber-podcast

#50 Social Media, Friendship, and Vulnerability Online
"I'm addicted to social media. I love it and I hate it."
"Making friends as an adult is so damn hard."
These are some of the most common issues that I listen to from my therapy couch, as the majority of folks I serve are between the ages of 22-40.
My conclusion is that what we deeply desire as a generation is: INTIMACY.
Not the hot and heavy, sexual intimacy, but a sacred closeness with other humans. with FRIENDS.
We're not sure how to make new friends or sustain the existing connections we do have. And social media isn't helping like we hoped it would.
In this episode I'm bringing a new spin to the conversation around social media and adult friendships, offering some guidance based on my experience and ideas I've changed my mind about, and shedding some light on the difference between "vulnerable" sharing online versus true intimacy IRL.
I hope you love this thought provoking episode- number 50!!

#49 The Therapy Experience from Start To Finish
So you scheduled your first therapy appointment and you want to know what comes next.OR You're on the fence about therapy, because you aren't sure what will happen in the sessions.
Is the therapist going to make you talk about your childhood and analyze your dreams while you're laying on a couch?
The process can vary a little from therapist-to-therapist, depending on modalities being used, what issues have brought you to therapy or your therapist’s personality, but I want to tell you exactly what will GENERALLY happen if you sign up for therapy with me, from the moment you reach out to schedule, to the very last session we have together, and everything in between.
In this episode I’m gonna tell you what questions I ask on my intake form, how long therapy might take, what happens if you regress in your progress, and even what you’re paying for behind the scenes beyond the 50 minutes that we are together.

#48 Goal-Setting, Personal Development, And How To Follow-Thru
Today we are looking at a more sustainable approach to becoming your best self. This episode weaves together some practical strategies with contrarian concepts regarding the ideas of commitment and personal change.
Learn:
- How to commit to a vision rather than getting lost in the commitment to tasks.
- To build habits upon habits, 2 at a time.
- To maintain healthy habits even when life throws a curveball.
- How to tap into the "wise-mind" in order to stop bad habits.
- Why "WHY" isn't that important for initiating change.
- A better way to use sticky-notes for habit formation.
- What is a spectrum of improvement and what makes it so effective.
And remember that you still deserve to enjoy your life in the present, before you've actualized all your goals.

#47 How To Pay For Therapy (With or Without Insurance)
Why is it so hard to find a therapist who accepts insurance?? Why is therapy so expensive?
Insurance and pricing are HOT topics amongst both therapists and clients alike.
In this short episode, I'm explaining a few reasons why some therapists (myself included) choose not to panel with insurance, and some tips on how to make therapy more affordable for yourself as a client whether you are paying with or without insurance!
