    Ask Kati Anything #62 listener questions:
    1/ Hi Kati, I'm 22 years old and have a rare genetic disease that is causing my body to fail. I've been sick since I was a baby. My digestive tract is paralysed so i have been tube fed for 3 years, with one tube going into my small intestine to give me nutrition, water, and medication, and another tube into my stomach to drain out the...
    2/ Hi Kati! I would love to hear your thoughts on why therapists are so stubborn that their way of being a therapist is the only right way? For instance, I was watching another therapist here on youtube (don’t worry, I like your channel better) who was absolutely horrified, that a therapist in a tv show hugged a client at the end of a session, because she thinks there can be NO TOUCHING in the therapeutic relationship...
    3/ Hey Kati, I've been in therapy for about 2,5 years and starting to finally feel like life is good and my brain doesn't spin off all the time (working on allowing myself to feel 'good' ) But I'm still struggling with my thoughts. They run so fast, trying to 'stop stop stop' them is like throwing a stop sign onto a highway...

    7/ Hi, Kati. I’m embarrassed about asking these questions so I hope no one I know sees them! I had an emotionally unavailable mother growing up, when I was 16 I opened up to her about my male and female cousins sexually assaulting me on different occasions. I can’t seem to remember much about what her initial reaction was, but I remember she basically said I should let it go and I’ll feel better. Never again did I talk to her about anything, I suffered with depression, eating disorder, self harm, traumatic experiences, and suicidal thoughts for years! I’m now 23, and have come to a realization that throughout my life I have yearned for attention, affection, and love from older women who I tend to attract. These older women have been...
    8/ Hi Kati! I’ve struggled with body image for five years. I was never fat or anything, other people actually liked my figure, but I just wanted to be skinny. I was eating really healthy and exercised moderately, but still I wasn’t skinny enough so one day I...

    Ask Kati Anything - audience questions for podcast episode 58
    1. I was recently diagnosed with depression by my therapist, but I struggle to tell people about it. When I have tried to tell people close to me, they seem to care but don't really understand what I am going through. When they ask...
    2. How can you not compare your weight and size when you have a friend with an eating disorder? I do not have one, but hearing the way my friend talks has caused me to become more self-conscious. I still want to keep supporting her and would love...
    3. I can’t remember the first 12 years of my life, does that mean I have been abused as a child? Or could I have just had a very boring childhood?
    4. Is it best to work on the ‘original’ trauma to begin with, as opposed to working on its ‘symptoms’ individually i.e. anxiety, depression, eating disorder, OCD, PTSD etc in the hope that this will hopefully improve all?
    5. Happy Thursday! Do triggers only work when you are in a bad mental headspace? Sometimes I can be around my triggers and be Ok and there are other times when I'm anxious to be around them.
    6. How do you know when a relationship is beyond repair. What if you're prone to projection and so you don't know if you're thinking that this person is toxic or not...
    7. I hope you're doing great. I wanted to ask, do you think talking to a therapist about all the details of the abuse I suffered for 3 years, would help me get over it, or make peace with it. I've never really talked in detail, about the abuse I sustained, with anybody, mostly because...
    8. I haven’t talked to my parents for 2 and a half years because of the trauma that they caused me in my childhood such as emotional abuse and neglect. My sister's wedding is in a few months and I will have to see them there. I’m very nervous about it and I don’t know what...
    9. How to prepare for the death of a terminally ill loved one?
    10. I'm asking for a friend who's worried for her privacy: "What is considered incest? Is getting harassed as an adult by your own father so? I'm 24 and I've been back at my parents' due to covid crisis. The other day I was chilling on a couch watching TV as my father entered the room and started...

    "I want connection & friendships but I push people away..." #57 Apr 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Ask Kati Anything! audience questions from ep 57
    1. Why is it that I can so desperately long for connection and friendships, yet I constantly mentally push people away and put up a mental wall? It's like I CANT connect, as much as...
    2. Hey Kati! I feel like this isn't a topic talked about a lot in the world today. So, I am hoping this gets answered. What are your thoughts about children who have a traumatizing sexual encounter with another child? Such as inappropriate touching and fondling. Is this abuse?
    3. Hey Kati! Do you 'always' have to try to get better? What if I don't want to get better? I know I am suffering but it's not consistent. On some days, I am all fine. I am not feeling my worst. My therapist says I'm...
    4. How do I stop being so lazy? I'm not necessarily happy with my life (because I'm too lazy to change it), but mood-wise I'm pretty happy most of the time. So it's not depression or anything like...
    5. Hi Kati, happy Thursday! Has a client ever shown you a song or a piece of music as a representation of how they are feeling or what they are going through or would you...
    6. Hi Kati, My therapist told me she has a “desire to protect my heart” and that she loves me. Is this countertransference? I’m in trauma therapy...
    7. Just curious, do patients ever bring in pictures of themselves as a child or of their family? Is that ever encouraged or discouraged and for what reason? Sometimes I've wanted to...
    8. Hi Kati, how can we open up more in therapy when the therapist isn't sharing much about herself? In other relationships, we often observe how the other(s) behave and respond accordingly (to prevent over / undersharing; to avoid rejection or conflict, etc). Yet in therapy...
    9. Hi Kati! I hold a lot of blame and anger towards my mother. She was emotionally absent throughout my life and made me feel like I was a burden when I was diagnosed with depression in high school. I feel like I was not helpfully...
    10. Hi Kati. How do you know that you have actually experienced childhood trauma? I dissociated in my last therapy session when talking about the relationship with my sister, who has always been quite the bully. My therapist mentioned that...
