    #21 Why Therapy is Awesome!
    Sep 2 2024

    There was a time in my life when I rolled my eyes at the idea of therapy. It seemed ridiculous that simply talking with someone could ever lead to any kind of real change or improvement to my life experience. I'm delighted to report that I was very, very wrong about that assessment.

    Today's episode is a bit of love letter to therapy. We talk about what is therapy, what it is not, how it can be helpful, what good therapy looks like vs bad therapy, and how to go about finding the right therapist (or counselor, or coach) for you.

    If you've ever wondered what all the fuss is about, this episode is for you

    Following up on the very positive response we received from part 1, in this episode we elaborate on these ideas around setting boundaries, and cover:

    • Knowing when to set boundaries
    • Different ways of speaking our boundaries and helpful phrases to use
    • How to handle it when setting boundaries doesn't go as smoothly as we'd like
    • And finally, how to put all these things into practice using practical examples

    #19 (Part 1) Boundaries: What F@#% is that?!
    Aug 19 2024
    To most ex-JWs, especially those newly out, the idea of boundaries is a foreign concept. Because, for the most part, boundaries don't exist within the organization. The idea of saying "no" "that doesn't feel good" or "please don't do that" are not really in our vocabulary, and we've been programmed to think that using those phrases makes us a bad person in some way. In today's episode, we blow the lid off all that bullshit, and empower you to trust in the very simple fact that it is ok for you to choose what feels good for you, and protect yourself from things that do not, regardless of whether other people approve of those choices
