  • Episode 26: Conflict, not Drama
    Oct 20 2025

    Conflict is inevitable, as much as we do not like it or want it near us. It exists in all relationships and situations and can often serve as a powerful lesson in compromise, healthy communication, self-empowerment, etc. Conflict is not the same as drama, however, and it is important to be able to distinguish the two from one another. Today we explore Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle, the 3 roles that comprise the triangle, and healthy ways out of drama and into negotiating constructive conflict.

  • Episode 25: Relationship Fallacies Part 2
    Oct 5 2025

    We are back for Part 2 of Relationship Fallacies this week and unpacking more myths that exist in partnerships. It is easy to get caught up in so many of these myths, as they have become a part of the social vernacular. However, as seasoned therapists, we are trained to deconstruct the narrative and rework it in healthier and more compromising ways to help clients live their best lives. Help us help you and tune in!

  • Episode 24: Depression
    Sep 28 2025

    Disruptions in mood can be a common occurrence and often a confusing one. Depression is a condition that impacts people of all walks of life and ages and can take many twists in turns. The heaviness and fog often connected to periods of depression can make even mundane tasks seem extraordinarily hard. In today’s episode, we talk through mild symptoms of depression up to more serious symptoms, how to discern the difference, and strategies to utilize to break out of the fog and return to a more comfortable state of being.
