Couch Time Podcast Suzi Halajyan, Janet Bayramyan

What better way to talk about toxic work environments than to analyze
Netflix’s reality show, Selling Sunset? With a plethora of episodes focused
on the dynamics among a gorgeous group of LA realtors, the drama never
seems to end. We understand that as viewers, we are only privy to a small
fraction of the reality stars lives. Therefore, here on Couch Time, we
dissect the information given and use realistic inferences so we can learn
and share key takeaways that relate to our field of expertise.

A hot topic in today’s celebrity media is Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement
to Travis Barker. This relationship provides us with some interesting
topics that fans have probably noticed during her life in the spotlight.
Today we will discuss starting over in your 40’s, how to come out of
codependency, cycles of life, and the impact that living your life as a
reality TV star can have on your mental health.

Suzette Bray is a seasoned LMFT and founder of Village Counseling and
Wellness and we are honored to have her on for today’s episode. It’s her
years of experience, extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy
(DBT), and open mind that guide our conversation in hopes to destigmatize
borderline personality disorder. If you are new to the field, studying to
become a clinician, or are just wanting to learn more about mental health
and private practice, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Arguably one of the most iconic popstars of the late 1990’s and early
2000’s, Britney Spears has been in the media since the beginning. Lately,
there has been so much buzz regarding the many documentaries circling her
conservatorship and we thought it was a perfect topic to discuss. Fans
around the world have joined together to create a ‘Free Britney’ movement
due to observed odd behaviors and her potential cry for freedom.

Hello listeners! After a teeny, tiny, break to reassess the direction of
the podcast, we are happy to announce that we are back with a new look. We
are glad to have you along with this journey and very excited to share this
new chapter of Couch Time with you.

Our guest today is Dr. Veronica Eyo, LCSW who opens up about her experience
with motherhood and pregnancy during her higher education journey. She
shares details about her dissertation and how it related to this very
topic.
