Is “Nurture” the only way to attend to feelings? What if nurturing makes me want to gag? Are there other options for responding to feelings?

What does it mean to be “reactive”? Or “overreactive”? Are some people just “sensitive” or is there more going on?

My client came to therapy because she was "overreactive." So we chat about reactions; what they are, how they work, and why - spoiler alert - there's no such thing as "overreacting."

How important is telling our “story” - our history, the things that have happened to us and what we’ve been through - in therapy? For my client, the idea of having to go through her history and tell her story was really anxiety provoking. Luckily, I didn’t need to know the story - and I explained why.

My client is sick of being told she isn’t “feeling her feelings” and that she just needs to “feel it to heal it,” because, in her words “If I knew how to do that, I wouldn’t be here!” So we talking about how to actually go about feeling our feelings.

My client has a self critic that could rival the worst trolls on the internet. We discuss strategies for working on self compassion by rehabilitating the Care circuit.

My client has a self critic that could rival the worst trolls on the internet. I go into the neurology of self compassion and self criticism to explain why therapy will go nowhere if we’re not working on self compassion.

My client is hates part of himself and asks if that's his Shadow Self. We chat about the Shadow Self, Shadow Work and why I think the whole Shadow Realm needs a rebrand.

No client this time, this one comes from a question from a viewer. In reference to my video Why The Physical Experience of Your Feelings Matters, a viewer asked how therapy can help with that. So I try to explain, using my own anxiety as an example.

My client is sick of talking. We chat about what's going on in therapy, what we want to be happening, and how different types of therapy may accomplish different things.
