When the Dogs Stop Saying Hi: The Human Need for Connection and Belonging Patricia (she/her) explores the complexities of community, being perceived, and the challenges of navigating relationships amidst misunderstandings and cancel culture. She shares personal experiences of rupture and repair within her community, reflecting on the emotional impact of feeling excluded and the importance of acknowledging one's behavior in relationships. Patricia also highlights the simultaneous beauty of connections and celebrations, even amidst challenges, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and understanding in the face of adversity. KEY TAKEAWAYS ·       The emotional toll of being perceived in a way that doesn't match how we see ourselves ·       Owning mistakes and navigating the possibility of repair (even when others might not be open) ·       The pain of being excluded from community events and how rejection sensitivity & OCD can flare ·       Mixed emotions around her birthday — feeling both unseen by some and deeply loved by others ·       The balance between taking accountability and resisting self-abandonment ·       Practices of self-compassion when reassurance doesn't come from others ·       What happens when justice, fragility, and nuance collide in relationships ·       Her growing love of animals, volunteering with horses, and a longing to return to simple joys ·       A behind-the-scenes peek into the Unapologetically AuDHD podcast launch ·       The challenges of time agnosia in friendships and how ND folks can navigate it compassionately ·       Updates on kayaking, paddleboarding, and listening to her nervous system ·       A gentle invitation to ask yourself: Would I want to be in community with people who won't repair? HIGHLIGHTS   ·       The challenge of being perceived differently than how we see ourselves. ·       Rupture and repair are essential components of relationships. ·       Community can provide both support and feelings of exclusion. ·       Setting boundaries is a right everyone has. ·       Cancel culture can complicate personal relationships. ·       Acknowledging one's behavior is crucial for repair. ·       It's important to celebrate connections amidst challenges. ·       Sensitivity is a unique trait that should be embraced. ·       Self-acceptance is key to navigating emotional turmoil. ·       Finding joy in small moments can help during difficult times.      SOUND BITES “Rupture and repair is part of being human. And sometimes repair doesn't happen — but that doesn't mean we stop showing up with integrity.” “My OCD wants reassurance. And sometimes, I just have to sit with that and give it to myself.” “We all have a primal need for belonging. And when that's taken away, it's a wound that goes deep.” "I want to spend time with animals." "It's okay to not be social." "It's okay to feel connected." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.  TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction)  00:00 Navigating Community and Perception 11:44 Rupture and Repair in Relationships 19:20 Celebrating Connections Amidst Challenges 25:44 Embracing Sensitivity and Self-Acceptance PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review” Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

Ever felt ganged up on in therapy? We explore how bias “leaks,” how to ask for fairness, and three tools you can also use when giving relationship advice to a friend - so you support without picking sides. Learn to hold space (not control outcomes) and keep growth honest - even when it's messy. What you'll learn: How “leaking bias” erodes trust - and how to name it constructively. The difference between helping and imposing (holding space vs. fixing). 3 neutrality tools you can use with friends. Why therapy is messy (and human), not math and how to keep growth on track.

If you're the parent of a differently wired kid with a diagnosed learning disability, you likely have had experience with Individualized Education Plans, otherwise known as IEPs. And if this is you, my hunch is you have some feelings about IEPs and the whole process — the stresses, the unknowns, the fact that it might feel like you have to understand a completely different language just to get the services and supports your child needs and deserves in schools. Occupational therapist Beth Liesenfeld, the woman behind a company, podcast, and resource called The IEP Lab, joins us to answer your questions around how parents can better prepare for an IEP meeting, what makes a good IEP, and how we can go about making changes on an IEP if we realize the accommodations aren't being effective or if a school isn't following through in the way the IEP outlines. Beth Liesenfeld, MOT, OTR/L is an occupational therapist passionate about providing “insider” information of the school's process and culture to parents in order to increase collaboration between parents and school staff! Her company, The IEP Lab, provides online workshops and courses as well as produces The Parent IEP Lab Podcast.  Things You'll Learn from This Episode: What parents actually need to know before they go into an IEP meeting The criteria for designing an effective and supportive IEP The intention behind the goals written into any IEP, and how to create goals that lead to hoped-for outcomes What parents can do if their children's school doesn't follow through on the accommodations provided in their child's IEP How to include accommodations for students who are struggling with school refusal and therefore may not be meeting attendance requirements What the IDEA says about seeking an IEP for twice-exceptional children who may be performing “adequately” but aren't reaching their potential Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we unpack the often-misunderstood world of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) and explore how it differs from both everyday perfectionism and OCD. From the importance of accurate differential diagnosis to the ego-syntonic traits that make OCPD so challenging to recognize, we highlight how this disorder impacts relationships, marriages, and workplace dynamics. Using a case illustration and insights from marriage research, we discuss how rigidity and control can create friction while offering practical strategies for individuals, partners, and clinicians to foster awareness, flexibility, and healthier connections. Tune in to see OCPD Through a Therapist's Eyes.

At the core of Jungian psychology lies the concept of individuation, a lifelong journey of growing into one's whole self. It's a process of self-discovery that can feel both inspiring and challenging as each layer of inauthenticity or protective strategy surfaces, then sloughs away. One therapist combines her Jungian background with NARM's spirit of inquiry to help her clients embrace the nature of individuation and reconnect to their unique selves. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Megan Holm (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner to discuss the beautiful and unsettling unfolding that can occur when we commit to exploring depth within ourselves. The pair also explores where NARM and Jungian psychology overlap––developing the capacity to hold tension that arises with deeper self-exploration and creating space for noticing rather than judging. About Megan Holm: Megan Holm is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), NARM® Master Therapist, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in private practice. She has served as a training assistant in NARM Therapist and Master Therapist Trainings. Megan is currently a training candidate at the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP) in Zurich, Switzerland. She continues to see clients in the US, working on themes of relationship patterns, belonging, grief and loss, and self-discovery. Megan is most interested in what Carl Jung calls Individuation: the lifelong process of becoming one's own unique and whole self. It is a process of self-realization and discovery, seeing ourselves as we are rather than as we wish to be. Our symptoms are a door for this work – they invite us to look inwards, to listen to what has gone untended or under-nourished. Fantasy, imagination, and dreams offer further guidance, helping us to see more clearly who we are and what we uniquely bring to the world. Knowing oneself is an undertaking – a humbling journey that Megan feels honored to take together.

Have you ever felt guilty for taking a break from work? Do you find it challenging to balance your creative pursuits with your professional responsibilities? If so, you're not alone. Many therapists struggle with feelings of guilt or abandon if they take time away from their practice and worry that clients will need them while they're gone or not come back to therapy once the vacation has ended. Edgar Fabián Frías, LMFT, and graduate of the Money Skills for Therapists course, brings their current challenge of allowing themselves permission to rest, trust the systems, and redefine what sustainability looks like in their work and life to the show. Edgar has built financial buffers and created sustainability in their practice, but not yet allowed themselves a real break. Balancing Rest and Business Growth If you are someone who finds it hard to take time off, and you know you need a break but you keep pushing that vacation into the future, here are a few questions Edgar and I work through: What if I lose connections with my clients during my time off? Will I have to start over again after taking a vacation? Will my clients seek support elsewhere if I'm not available for a month? What if my absence affects the progress and goals of my clients? What if taking time off leads to missed opportunities or setbacks in my practice? How can I take time for myself but also serve my clients well? Conquering the Fears Around Taking Time Off (00:00:10) Balancing Creativity with Professional Responsibilities (00:09:33) Therapists' Emphasis on Personal Growth Practices (00:14:06) Creative Breaks: Nurturing Therapist's Business Growth (00:16:28) The Transformative Power of Rest and Exploration (00:17:27) Creative Time Management for Productivity and Balance (00:22:35) Maintaining Financial Security During Extended Absences Elevating Your Therapy Services from a Place of Rest Overcoming the fear of taking time off is a journey that requires self-awareness, resilience, and a willingness to prioritize your well-being. As a therapist, it's essential to find a balance between work responsibilities and creative pursuits, while also ensuring financial stability and taking breaks to recharge. One practical tip is to create a schedule that allows for dedicated time for both work and creative activities. Set boundaries and stick to them, ensuring that you have time for self-care and relaxation. Remember, you deserve time off to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Taking breaks can actually boost your creativity and productivity in the long run. (00:23:34) "And I honestly as like, you know someone who was so tainted by money and felt so out of control with it. It's been so amazing to be on the other side of it and be like, oh, my gosh, I'm comfortable with money. And I also feel like I have this ability to dream." - Edgar Fabián Frías (00:28:13) "When we never take time away, when we don't show them that we're living expansive lives, they know that on some level, you know, that we are someone who works all the time and isn't actually out exploring and enjoying the world, as we are often supporting our clients to be able to do so." - Linzy Bonham Interested in working with Linzy?

Let's be real. AI is everywhere, and it's not just writing grocery lists or your kid's English essay anymore, it's sliding into the therapist's chair. Whether you've toyed with ChatGPT as your late-night sounding board or downloaded an AI mental health app, it's tempting to think: “Maybe I don't need to pay someone $200 an hour when I've got free therapy in my pocket.” But is that really therapy or is it just tech playing dress-up? Today we're diving into whether AI can actually replace a human therapist, what's helpful about it, what's missing, and why your blind spots might be the biggest deal of all._______________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/ai-vs-therapy-should-you-talk-to-a-chatbot-or-a-human Get the 10-Question Therapy Reality Check: Is It AI Advice or Real Therapy?10 Questions to Ask Before You Ditch Your Therapist: https://abbymedcalf.com/ai-therapy Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack.
