How Trauma Shapes the Mind and Body — and Paths Toward Healing

In this episode, we talk openly about trauma—how it affects the nervous system, shapes our relationships, and influences the ways we move through the world, often without us realizing it. From childhood trauma and complex PTSD to emotional triggers and survival responses, we explore what trauma can look like beyond the clichés. This is a thoughtful, compassionate conversation about healing, regulation, and trauma-informed care, with space for nuance, honesty, and real-life experience. If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating, or why “just moving on” doesn’t actually work, this episode offers insight without judgment. Healing isn’t quick or linear—but understanding yourself is a powerful place to start. Content Disclaimer: This episode includes discussions of trauma, PTSD, and emotionally challenging topics that may be triggering for some listeners.

Should Happens (But We Don’t Have to Listen)

Ever catch yourself saying “I should be doing more,” “I should be further along,” or “I should really have my life together by now”? Yeah… same. In this episode, we’re unpacking the sneakiest form of self-sabotage: “should-ing” all over ourselves. 🫠 We dive into why “should” is basically the emotional equivalent of a pop-up ad for guilt, how it fuels anxiety, burnout, and comparison culture, and what to do instead when your inner critic starts sounding like a disappointed guidance counselor. Expect mindset shifts, real-life examples, and permission to stop living by invisible rules you never agreed to. If you’re tired of chasing productivity, success, or “having it all figured out” just because you think you’re supposed to—this one’s for you. Come for the self-growth, stay for the relief, leave with fewer shoulds and way more self-compassion. No toxic positivity. No hustle shaming. Just vibes, clarity, and maybe a collective exhale.

Comparison Culture: Why Keeping Score Hurts Everyone

Comparison is absolutely everywhere — on Instagram, in productivity culture, in healing spaces, and apparently in our own brains at 2 a.m. 🙃 And no, it’s not because you’re doing life wrong. It’s because comparison is often a nervous system response, not a personality flaw. In this episode of Couch Convos, we’re naming the noise. After taking December off (because we’re humans, not content machines) and watching comparison culture wreak havoc in therapy rooms and real life, we break down why comparison feels so loud — and why it leaves us anxious, ashamed, and weirdly competitive about our own healing. If you’re tired of feeling behind, unworthy of joy, or like your pain has to be “bad enough” to count, this episode is your permission slip to step off the scoreboard and let your experience be enough. No gold stars. No rankings. Just nervous system care and collective exhale. 🫶 If you would like to work with us, visit www.soulhavengeorgia.com

Anxiety? I Don’t Know Her (Just Kidding, She Lives With Me)

If you've ever rehearsed a conversation 37 times before sending a “totally chill” text or canceled plans just to overthink in peace, this episode is for you. This week, we're unpacking anxiety: what it actually is (besides annoying), why your brain insists on sending you into fight-or-flight mode during Zoom calls, and how therapy explains that internal chaos we lovingly call “spiraling.” From social anxiety and panic attacks to the quieter, constant hum of overthinking, we’re breaking it down with honesty, insight, and the occasional meme reference. We’re two licensed therapists—also humans—talking real about the tools, truths, and tiny mindset shifts that can help you manage your mental health without needing to become a morning routine girlie (unless that’s your thing). Because no, you’re not broken. And no, you’re definitely not the only one wondering why your heart races when your phone rings. Want to work with us? Visit www.soulhavengeorgia.com

Grief Is Weird: Coping with Loss, Healing, and Finding Your Way Forward

Grief is weird. One minute you’re fine, the next you’re crying in the snack aisle because someone looked at you kindly. In this episode, we talk honestly about the grieving process—what it feels like to live with loss, how to cope when the world keeps moving, and why healing from grief doesn’t look the same for everyone. Whether you’re dealing with the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another form of personal loss, this conversation explores how grief affects your mental health, emotional resilience, and even your identity. You’ll hear reflections on what helps, what hurts, and how to be gentle with yourself while navigating life after loss.
