Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené
Gamut Podcast Network
Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy.

Ep 110 The Layers of Our Vulnerability - Live Coaching Session
In this live coaching session, we sit down for our first-ever couples coaching session with Gloria and Jay to talk about their struggles with navigating parenting and vulnerability in the midst of a developing relationship. We talk with them about the value in modeling acceptance of our imperfections for our children, the fears that inevitably come to the surface when we’ve found someone to love, normalizing the challenges of parenting adolescents - who feel ambivalent in their need for you, but resisting you at the same time, and staying committed to what they’re creating for themselves in the sacred space of their relationship. This is such a potent episode, whether you’re a parent or not, there’s something that we can all relate to.Interested in joining a live virtual group class with us?
