Just “wait”!
I’m rather skeptical of the “expert”’s opinions in the episode about weight. While I agree that “fat-shaming” is cruel and unproductive, there are several seeming problems with her ideas. While it’s hard to lose weight, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done! It’s no wonder it’s hard with processed foods and sedentary lifestyles (which she never mentions). Also, she says that people who are overweight but “healthy” live longer, but how is “health” defined? Diet? Exercise? Lastly, it’s not like d... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DBT, Chronic Invalidation & Finding Queer Joy with Dr. Kiki Fehling (309)

Q: How does radical acceptance work in the context of emotional sensitivity?

Radical acceptance involves acknowledging the reality of one's emotional experiences and their origins without endorsing or liking it, which can reduce suffering and enable more adaptive responses and change over time.

DBT, Chronic Invalidation & Finding Queer Joy with Dr. Kiki Fehling (309)

Q: What is DBT and how does it differ from traditional CBT?

DBT builds on CBT by adding acceptance-based elements and skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, with a focus on balancing change with acceptance to help those with intense emotions.

Healing Through Spirituality, Writing, and Connection with Dr. Sabrina N’Diaye (304)

Q: What kinds of practices do you use to integrate spirituality and healing in therapy beyond traditional talk therapy?

I use breath, imagery, journaling, letter-writing to ancestors, drumming, and genogram exercises to reveal patterns and resources, aiming to reconnect clients with a sense of belonging and community.

Healing Through Spirituality, Writing, and Connection with Dr. Sabrina N’Diaye (304)

Q: How do you describe yourself and your approach to therapy in your own terms?

I see myself as someone who blends laughter and tears, approaches therapy as a practice that nurtures self-love, and aims to help people develop rituals that sustain wellbeing beyond individual sessions.

Self-Led Sexuality: Reclaiming Intimacy Through IFS with Patricia Rich, LCSW (299)

Q: Maybe in a nutshell, what is IFS and then you could help us understand why that feels so important to consider when you're talking about sexuality and one's body?

Patricia explains that IFS views the mind as a system of parts, with a Self that leads when parts settle; therapy can help parts unblend, acknowledge their positive intentions, and allow Self to guide responses, especially around sexual feelings and actions.
