The Truth Teller by That Trendy Therapist™️

Let’s talk about why it’s actually NOT a “positive” thing to be all “light and love” always. Let’s discuss why having mottos like “kindness is cool” and “just be positive” are limiting and superficial. Let’s take a deep dive into the problematic nature of toxic positivity and how what we REALLY need is realness. And truth. xx, TTT.

Hi Trendsetters! In this episode, I discuss why intentions matter. I talk about reading subtext when someone is talking to you and how the subtext tells you what you really need to know. We need to be paying more attention to intentions. And in this episode, I tell you why.

Hi Trendsetters! In today’s episode, I talk about how I’m personally coping with something I’m currently going through. I give tangible tips and insights into how I think and move through challenging times like this as a therapist and someone who honors their emotions. I hope this episode provides you with some pearls of wisdom you can turn to whenever you are going through something yourself. xoxo, TTT.

Hi Trendsetters! In this episode, I answer all your questions about therapy (how the process works, whether there is a specific length of time for the process, and basically anything else you’ve wanted to know about what therapy is really like!). xoxo, TTT.

In this episode, I talk about the nuances of kindness and how we need to look at the motivations behind someones behavior to determine whether it’s actually genuine. I also talk about the overuse of the words “mean” and “nice” and how they’re completely outdated and unhelpful ways to categorize people based on whether or not we like or agree with them. Let’s dive deeper into what kindness REALLY entails, my trendsetters!

Hi Trendsetters! I'm thrilled to bring to you this episode all about the Enneagram, a personality typology that was popularized in the US in the 1970's and had a resurgence in exposure and popularity over the pandemic. In this episode, I bring to you a fellow therapist from NYC, Drew Newkirk, who not only is an expert in the Enneagram but is the exact same type as myself! (4w3 sexual subtype). I found Drew's impressive Enneagram youtube channel when devouring material on the subject over the pandemic, so I knew he would be the perfect guest to bring on to help introduce the Enneagram to all of you.

As you will see in this episode, Drew is extremely well-versed in all things Enneagram. He discusses what exactly it is (no, it's not a pentagram), how it came to be, gives us a brief overview on each of the subtypes, discusses what is meant by the "subtypes" and "wings," and furthermore really delves into why the Enneagram is such a beneficial tool in the journey of self-discovery. Drew shares some of his personal learnings on the Enneagram and how it has helped him on his own journey, and additionally how he uses the Enneagram in his work with his patients within his private practice.

Hi Trendsetters! I start off this episode filling you guys in on my recent move with Meditation Matt! I update you on where we’re living and the purpose of the move. Then I get into what it means to be asleep to your life. I discuss the idea of being tranquilized by the trivial aspects of life and how that leads to disconnection from the self and your overall purpose. And I encourage you to WAKE UP to your life and give it meaning. Enjoy!! xoxo, TTT.

Do you know who it is that you are? Let’s talk about what it means to have a sense of self and why it’s so important. Because, truthfully, if you don’t know who it is that you are.. you don’t know much.
