About this listen

Ever wonder what therapists talk about after work? You're about to find out. Beyond the Session is where therapy insight meets real life. Hosted by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Sarah Bradley and Associate Licensed Counselor Laura Jackson, this bi-weekly podcast explores the deeper layers of mental health, relationship dynamics, and the need for authentic human connection. Whether you’re navigating your own growth, showing up for your relationships, or just trying to make sense of the messiness of life, you’ll find thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and just enough humor to keep it grounded. Listeners are invited to submit questions for Q&A segments or even inspire future episodes—because healing doesn’t just happen in the therapy room. It happens in community.Copyright 2025 Sarah Bradley & Laura Jackson

  • Being Uncomfortable
    Jul 1 2025

    What if the discomfort you're avoiding is the very thing that could change you? In this episode, Sarah and Laura dive into what it really means to be uncomfortable—and why it matters. From emotional growth to boredom, relational tension to chronic pain, they explore how discomfort shows up in our lives, and how learning to sit with it can lead to deeper healing, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of self. They also reflect on the difference between discomfort and lack of safety, and how our fast-paced culture may be robbing us of the growth discomfort can bring.
