Couch Talks is the special bonus episode of You Need Therapy where Kat answers questions that listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com. This week however, instead of answering a question, Kat offers 5 important reminders to consider before walking into your family Thanksgiving Dinner.    You do not need to starve yourself in order to earn a Thanksgiving meal.  Just because someone says something it doesn’t mean you have to accept it. If your stomach looks like you ate after you ate- it’s because you ate.  If you get overwhelmed you can ask for what you need.  Your Mother in laws comments about food/ bodies/ exercise etc are about her not you.     Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.Defatta Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?

Couch Talks is the bonus episode of You Need Therapy where Kat answers questions listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com. This week a listener writes in with a crisis involving the intersection of therapy and religion.  "How do we know if the things going on in our heads are due to the “battle of good and evil” or just a matter of chemical imbalance and how can we both work on our mental health and surrender to a higher power." The good news here is that believing in the power of prayer doesn’t mean you don’t believe in therapy and going to therapy doesn’t mean you can't trust that a God exists. In this episode Kat discusses how both can fit and work together versus against!    Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.Defatta Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
