  • Great content and convenient continuing ed!

    These courses are thoughtfully put together and a pleasure to listen to. They typically leave me with great food for thought. I am also grateful to be able to complete continuing education in a convenient way, and my dog likes it too because she gets long walks while I am listening :)

  • The best CE podcast for therapists!

    This podcast is my go-to when I need to get CEs but don’t have a ton of time. Beth is an incredible interviewer and host, and the topics that are picked are always incredibly interesting to me. She handles complex topics with grace and humor and always seeks to promote the highest level of ethical consideration for whatever is at hand.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Impact of Growing Up With a Parent With BPD: Paths to Healing in Adulthood, Ep. 262
Q: Can adults who have a parent with BPD have healthy relationships?
It's complicated. Adult children may need to set boundaries and at times choose to stay no contact to break the cycle of enmeshment.
The Impact of Growing Up With a Parent With BPD: Paths to Healing in Adulthood, Ep. 262
Q: How does this differ from what the survivors of other types of childhood mistreatment might experience?
Children growing up with parents who have BPD are continuously told that they are at fault for their parent's issues, which is different from children of parents with other struggles like addiction, who can recognize their parent's impairment.
Ethical Kink-Affirming Practice: Power, Culture, Consent, and Pleasure, Ep. 255
Q: How do we manage feelings after engaging in kink experiences?
Understanding ourselves better and processing feelings that arise from kink experiences is essential, including recognizing triggers and planning aftercare.
Ethical Kink-Affirming Practice: Power, Culture, Consent, and Pleasure, Ep. 255
Q: Can you speak to the association with kink and trauma?
The research suggests that kinky folks experience trauma to the same extent as vanilla folks, and misconceptions about trauma in the kink community can lead to stigmatization.
Ethical Kink-Affirming Practice: Power, Culture, Consent, and Pleasure, Ep. 255
Q: What does research tell us about clinician competence in discussing sexuality as a whole, but particularly kink?
Research shows that while many clinicians may have better attitudes towards kink, there is a significant gap in actual training, with only about 10 percent having received any education on kink.
