Episode notes

The chapter delves into the multifaceted aspects of therapy, from addressing past traumas to managing present stress and improving self-awareness and relationships. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the need for help and therapy's role in aiding self-reflection, emotional processing, and skill development. The conversation also touches on the misconceptions people hold about therapy and highlights the professional boundaries and active nature of the therapy process.

This week, Tara Booker is back for another installment of “The Difference Between,” a series where we break down the difference between a mental health related topic and how it shows up in pop culture. This week we rolled it back to the basics and talked about what therapy really is versuses how some popular tv shows portray it. Spoiler: It isn’t just us nodding our heads and asking you how you feel and it also isn’t us telling you what to do!

Then we breakdown why sometimes “No” is a complete sentence and why sometimes its helpful to offer more information when setting a boundary. It all goes back to the grey nuanced reality of what relationships really are- and there isn’t a right way that works all of the time!
