This Changes Everything with Sarah Rice

Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are talking about something that’s always hard to deal with and not always fun to talk about–the dreaded breakup. Whether you’re the one being broken up with or the one doing the breaking up, it’s never a good time. But Sarah and Jeff are offering their thoughts on the best way to deal, no matter what side of it you’re on. If you’re the breaker-upper, what do you say? How do you say it? When do you say it? Jeff makes the distinction between ending things after just a few dates, and Sarah makes a good point, that this avoidance falls into the camp of good old procrastination. It’s a little different than breaking up with someone you’ve been dating for a little while. Or what about when you’re in a long term relationship? What if you’re married? Things definitely get more complicated then. There’s no totally right or completely wrong way to do it, but Sarah and Jeff have some ideas that can help both people in the relationship come out better on the other side of their breakup.

As we enter the post-holidays, post-New Year part of winter, people may be dealing with bigger, heavier feelings of sadness. This week, Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are here to help you recognize and identify those feelings, to break down the difference between general sadness and depression, and to tell you about a few of their own strategies for dealing with sadness. Sometimes, it means laying on the floor and listening to the most angsty emo you can find; other times, it might mean being as gentle with yourself as you would a child, and sometimes, you have to start simple and do what Sarah’s mom says: “Chop wood. Carry water.” Here's an article about the differences between sympathy, empathy, and compassion Sarah referenced: And here’s Brené Brown’s talk on the subject.

It's 2023, and we're back, baby! Everyone's talking about New Year's resolutions, and Sarah and Therapy Jeff have some thoughts of their own to share. Despite the fact that so many of us make them, New Year's Resolutions are notorious for being unsuccessful. Why is that? And why do we bother making them in the first place? As Sarah explains, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to start out the New Year with some goals in mind, but having unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of failure, disappointment, and self-judgement. So Sarah and Jeff are here to talk about what makes for successful goals and resolutions in the New Year. Sarah explains why it's so important to look at the difference between resolutions we make for the person we think we should be versus the person we really want to be. And Jeff talks about setting goals that are based in inspired versus anxious action. Sarah walks us through a really useful exercise that starts with examining your current self-story and envisioning the best version of you that you want to work toward in the coming year, and Jeff has some really useful tips for how to start enacting that story in actionable ways. We hope you all had a healthy and restful holiday. We're excited to kick off 2023 with you all! Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com Stop throwing your money away.

Sarah and Therapy Jeff are continuing last week's conversation about ending relationships. Dealing with the end of a relationship is hard, no matter the circumstances. Do we need closure? How do we get closure? What do we even mean by "closure' in the first place? We often think getting closure means understanding exactly why a relationship has ended in the hopes that this will save us from heartache, but Sarah talks about the importance of closure in terms of allowing yourself to grieve the end of a relationship. Jeff asks us to consider why we feel like we need closure in the first place. Sometimes it's a healthy and healing experience. Other times, we're just looking for ways to retread old wounds, and maybe that's when it's time to think about having a conversation with a therapist instead of your ex. If you are struggling with letting go, Jeff's got some questions you can ask yourself to help you think through moving forward from the end of a relationship, and Sarah's got some concrete suggestions for things you can do to get back in touch with who you are when you're not in relationship. Take yourself out on a date. Eat the spicy food your partner couldn't stand. Remember, you aren't alone because you're always with yourself, and this is a great time to put you first!

Relationships aren't always easy, and every relationship has its ups and downs. But how do we know when a rough patch is more than a rough patch? How can you know for sure that something isn't quite right in your relationship, and what should you do about it? The best answer is probably the most obvious one: talk to your partner. But there are some signs you can be on the lookout for that might mean it's time to priotize talking with your partner in the first place. So here they are. Seven sins your partner might be feeling done with your relationship. **DISCLAIMER** Therapy Jeff and Sarah are not saying that if any of these signs resonate with you that your relationship is doomed. If anything we talk about today sounds familiar to you, it might be time to sit down and have a conversation with your partner about what you both want from your relationship. And if it turns out your relationship is ending, that's okay! The important thing is that you're taking care of yourself, in whatever way is best for you.

Well, it's the so-called "cuffing season," which means folks may be feeling the pressure to find someone to snuggle up with or to lock things down with that cutie they've already found. It's a fitting time of year to wrap up our mini-series on attachment styles because Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are breaking down all the ways different attachment styles interact with one another. For example, what happens when two anxiously attached people get together? Fireworks! Maybe some inadvertent love bombing? Sarah and Jeff are breaking down the tendencies that can lead to stress or roadblocks in your relationship and offering ways you can address those issues to make sure your relationship is as strong and healthy as you want it to be! Jeff shares the story of his first kiss. It's very sweet. Got a good one, yourself?

Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are breaking down a topic that listeners have been asking for: relationship attachment styles. Attachment styles are established with our earliest relationships, so they can be deeply ingrained and take a lot of work to recognize and work through. Jeff tells us why the securely attached might seem boring, but really they're #goals. Sarah tells us what secure attachment has in common with The Four Agreements. They also outline dismissive/avoidant, anxious, and disorganized attachment styles. Then, they outline some useful ways to think about your own attachment style and how it interacts with the attachment style of your partner(s). Sarah and Jeff each suggest a few ways to work on becoming more secure in your own attachment style, and Sarah provides a delicious metaphor in the process.  Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com We want to hear from you!

The holidays can be a really wonderful time to connect with the people you care about, but that doesn't mean they aren't also a really stressful time. Whether it's as simple as feeling like you have to wrap the presents exactly right, or the more complicated aspects of going home for the holidays, especially when home doesn't always feel like the safest place, Sarah and Therapy Jeff are sharing their best strategies for making it through the holidays, no matter what you're dealing with. Sarah talks about the importance of making your own traditions. Jeff shares what it was like the first time he decided he wasn't going home for the holidays. If you think you might need to skip out on the family celebrations this year, that's okay. And remember, you're not going to fix your childhood trauma over Thanksgiving dinner. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself, no matter the time of year. Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com We want to hear from you!

Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are talking about that old classic, anxiety. Jeff provides a useful explanation of the actual science behind how anxiety works in your brain and what you can do to help yourself work through it when it feels like anxiety is really taking over. Sarah breaks down the ways that physiological, cognitive, and emotional responses can feed and be fed by anxiety. Jeff has some strategies for recognizing early subtle signs of oncoming anxiety. Sarah talks about grounding as a really helpful way to manage anxiety in the moment. Jeff and Sarah trade their favorite grounding exercises, from doing semi-complicated mental math to five-finger breathing. Remember though, no matter how you get there, when it comes to anxiety, your main goal is to convince your brain that it's safe. This episode is chock full of great ways to think through and about anxiety. Sarah recommends Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey's book What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing. The audiobook is especially good!  Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com We want to hear from you!
