Episode 52

Welcome to the Healing Pod!

Jess came to visit!! And we went to a Herd conference! And now we are back talking to you about being peopled out and completed out of everything.

So we’re talking to you about that! Some of the fun we have and some of the ways we are trying to rebalance and recharge ourselves, and moments we found in the conference to help ourselves through it.

And yes, I am old enough that traveling with my own pillow sounds much more fun than traveling without.

There is a NSFW joke at about 32:57 to 33:18 (video) or 31:45 to 32:06 (audio) for those especially fragile. Not that we don’t swear all the time anyway.

Episode 51

Welcome to the Healing Pod!

Sorry for the skipped episode drop! I was going to rush and put it out later that week and then I realized no…just take a breath and get back to it. And here we are!

This week we’re talking about building some compassion for the version of ourselves that stayed in bad situations too long. Be it a toxic work environment, that relationship we just can’t seem to step away from, the habits that do nothing for our actual health, whatever it is that we know we “should” step back from but just can’t let ourselves yet.

There’s comfort in familiarity, shame and anger at ourselves for staying when we know it’s not healthy, legitimate barriers in our way…so many things that we have to navigate not only to break ourselves free but also to create the capacity to grow and change and not just fall back into another trap.

The Stanford Prison Experiment wasn’t as fantastical as papers like to write it up to be, but it did show a lot of adapting to environments and expectations.

Episode 50

Welcome to the Healing Pod!

Today we talk about that impact when someone else is trying to make their panic and stress into something that you have to solve OR ELSE. Not my monkeys, not my circus. I’m more than happy to attend but I cannot take over in order to let you avoid your own anxious feelings.

As a therapist, as a friend, as a family member or spouse or child or any relationship, I completely care about you as a human being that is a rough spot, and I can stay grounded in my own limitations and abilities and my own understanding of reality for how I need to respond.

It’s a lot to hold the focus and the field in mind at the same time; to separate what is mine and what is yours. Doing so will let me know what needs to be addressed, what is safe or unsafe, and what my next step should be to remain.
