  • Day better

    Made my day better learning about avoidance issues. Really found this helpful and truly appreciate this therapists work. Would love if the episodes dumbed down how our brains work and there were recaps after the narrator explains it all: like a recap of 1-3 reasons we avoid and 1-3 examples of what to do today to fix it.

  • Therapy in a nutshell

    Emma is an amazing therapist! I first found her videos on YouTube and eventually found her podcast. I really enjoy that some of the episodes are condensed. Sometimes longer podcasts have a lot of filler but Emma’s podcast is straight to the point, really helpful and informative. She offers advice and how to put her tips into action. Her voice is very soothing and comforting and I look forward to every episode.

    Emma talks to us as if she has known us personally. She emotes sincerity and conviction yet pushes no judgment. I am fortunate to have her wisdom available through a podcast. I just wish there were more as skilled and capable as Emma in prac.

Healing from Childhood Trauma - w/ Past Tense Author Sacha Mardou
Q: Can you take us back to the beginning a little bit of what was going on in your life that led you to choose to go to therapy?

How to Feel your Feelings: Step-by-Step Exercise and full debrief w/ Thomas McConkie, Mindfulness

How to Feel your Feelings: Step-by-Step Exercise and full debrief w/ Thomas McConkie, Mindfulness
Q: What if I don't know what I'm feeling?
It's a common situation; the exercise doesn't ask us to understand anything immediately. Instead, we train ourselves to stay with the feelings present, even if they are numb. The insights will come later once we allow ourselves to be present with the sensations.
