    Carrying It All and Still Creating

    This week, Ann and Matt are joined by Julia Toal for a real, grounded conversation about the weight of life, current events, the emotional load we all carry, and how it shows up for both therapists and clients. Together, they explore the creative tools they lean on in sessions and in their own lives to process, regulate, and stay connected when things feel overwhelming. And because no conversation is complete without a little unexpected turn… they somehow find themselves diving into The NeverEnding Story and Disney princess psychology.... It’s thoughtful, honest, a little nostalgic, and very much real life as therapists navigating a heavy world while still finding space for creativity, humor, and meaning.

    We’re Fine. Everything’s Fine.

    When Therapy Doesn’t Match the Highlight Reel

    In this episode, Ann and Matt unpack the gap between client expectations and the real, often messy process of therapy especially in a world shaped by AI and social media. From “quick fix” mindsets to curated online narratives, we explore how these influences show up in the therapy room and what it means for both clients and clinicians. Also… it’s been a long day. So you’ll get plenty of unfiltered thoughts, tired brain tangents, and the kind of honest, slightly chaotic conversation that happens when therapists are very real humans at the end of it all.

    Inside Our Art Therapy Toolbox

    In this episode, Ann and Matt share some of their goto art directives for both individual and group sessions, creative prompts they return to again and again because they help clients explore feelings, build insight, and express themselves in meaningful ways. They also talk about their own creative processes, what helps them reconnect with creativity, and take a little walk down memory lane with childhood photos. And because no episode would be complete without it a little random chaos, Ann and Matt chat about why so many therapists love psychological thrillers and murder mysteries? Is it curiosity about human behavior, emotional processing after a long day, or something else entirely? Expect creativity, nostalgia, and a few laughs along the way

    Toot! Toot! Hot Mess Express, Mercury is in Retrograde

    In this episode, Ann and Matt talk about the balance between being human and maintaining strong professional boundaries as therapists. They explore how personality, lived experience, humor, and authenticity can actually strengthen therapeutic relationships when used thoughtfully. At the same time, they unpack the importance of staying grounded in ethical practice and clear boundaries so the work remains safe and effective for clients. Along the way, the conversation takes its usual turn into the chaotic reality of therapy life from messy schedules to “how did this become my day?” moments proving that therapists can be relatable, imperfect humans without losing their professionalism. Because sometimes therapy is deep clinical insight… and sometimes it’s riding the hot mess express while still holding the container.
