2023-07-2454 minTherapy After HoursLet's talk about triggersWe’re following up our last episode on trauma responses with all things trigger: trigger warnings, being triggered or unsafe versus discomfort and activation. We also dig into the ways in which terms are being mis (and over) used and leave you with some concrete things to get curious about in your own exploration of these topics. The big question we leave you to consider is: am I really triggered/unsafe or am I just trying to avoid discomfort?

2023-05-0353 minTherapy After HoursLet's talk about the hiatusProbably our most vulnerable episode so far!!
Well, we’re back and we’re here to share vulnerably about where we’ve been and why we had to take an unplanned hiatus from the podcast. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we think it’s important to share our humanness and practice what we preach in terms of boundaries, self-care and honouring our capacity. We’re all set to finish up season 2 and can’t wait to share the rest of the episodes with you!

It really spoke to us, so we decided to sit down and have a conversation about it! In this episode we explore what this idea means to us, when it’s not always possible to do so and the different layers that go along with considering our needs while honouring the needs of our lives and relationships at the same time.

2022-11-0748 minTherapy After HoursLet's talk about privilegeIn this episode we start to unpack a big and important topic - our thoughts on privilege. What is it? Why is it an important concept to understand?
We reflect on our own experiences of privilege, and marginalization, while weaving in a discussion on the role that pop culture representation plays in both upholding systemic privilege and the power it has to dismantle it.
