Debunking Therapy Myths with Tina Hartney

Please leave me feedback. I cannot respond so if you'd like me to respond, please leave your email

Have you ever wondered what therapy is really like? Or maybe you've heard some misconceptions about it that have made you hesitant to try it.

Well, get ready because in this week's episode, I sit down with the incredible licensed marriage and family therapist and dear friend, Tina Hartney and we dig into these topics and more.

Tina and I are going to:

• Share our personal experiences with therapy and debunk those common misconceptions that might be holding you back.
• Discuss different therapeutic modalities like emotional-focused therapy and EMDR.
• Talk about why it's so important to incorporate somatic and experiential therapy alongside talk therapy or when talk therapy no longer works.
• Discuss the difference between individual and couple therapy and how it can impact the relationship and each individual.
• Why we should take the shame out of going to therapy.

And wait until the end when Tina shares a very personal confession about the power of reclaiming her own vulnerability. 

So hit the play button and join me for an empowering conversation that will deepen your understanding of therapy and open your mind to new possibilities.  

 It’s a journey worth taking so you can find more freedom within.
