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 27 How we Gain More of Ourselves by Connecting to Truth with Mark Groves
Mark Groves specializes in the art of translating human connection by challenging belief systems that hold us back from one another and by offering a new perspective on what it means to love courageously. We talk with Mark about how painful experiences like a breakup can be an invitation to expansion, curiosity as the remedy for our deepest divisions, the allure of the codependent dance, and how understanding our roles as over-functioners or under-functioners can help us to step into our more authentic selves in our relationships (and how that can allow others to do the same). We could have explored these concepts with Mark forever, and we know you’ll take as much away from this episode as we did!
