Couch Talks: Stand with Ukraine Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

Couch Talks this week is a bit different. Kat takes a moment to sit in the reality of what is going on in Ukraine and feel the emotions attached. For some of us, that may feel unbearable because of the helpless feelings that tend to come alongside. However, Kat offers a different perspective and ways in which you can help in these very tragic times. Kat's Ukranian friend nailsbykatya.tn, offers ways in which we can help support those being affected by the brutality at play right now. We also suggest giving her a follow on instagram as she is constantly posting reliable news sources so we can stay informed and updates on how we can continue to help... even in ways that may seem small to you!

Couch Talks: Cult of Social Media Therapy Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Couch Talks is the spciela bonus episode of You Need Therapy where Kat usually answers questions that listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapy.com. This week, however, Kat is taking some time to talk about something that has been bubbling up in her psyche for some time now. After beginning to read the book, Cultish, by Amanda Montell– Kat started thinking more about how the language we hear on social media from “professionals” shapes the way we view our own health, well being, and experiences. THEN- she got hit with a new article from The New York Times that you can read HERE. In this episode you will hear Kat wrestle through some thoughts she has around the dangers (?) that exist when therapeutic information is shared in an attention grabbing curated way on social media.

The Adult Avoidant Attachment Style Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to the second installment of our Attachment Theory Series. This week, we are talking a deep dive into the insecure avoidant attachment style in adults. Kat describes how this gets formed, what it feels like and what it can look like from the outside. Don't worry- she also gave some insight into how to move towards a more secure attachment (but you have to get all the way to the end for that 🤪). This attachment style stems from experiences that lead to a continuous loss of hope relationally. The repetitive nature of their feelings of rejection and abandonment encourage them to form behaviors to detach them from their need for attachment. But we already know that we are a connection based species so these eventually start to backfire and keep us from getting what we all ultimately innately strive for: love and belonging. Listen this week to get the full scoop on how this all works.

And remember, if you come up with questions while listening to this weeks show (or any week really) feel free to send them over to kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com.
