Your Therapist Needs Therapy Jeremy Schumacher

Jeremy is joined this week by Alyssa Zajdel to jump into the world of sports psychology and performance. Jeremy and Alyssa talk about different sports requiring different mindsets, the difference in support that elite athletes can get from club or high school sports, and how it was not fun for student athletes or mental health professionals when COVID shut down college campuses. Alyssa shares a wealth of knowledge and lived experience working with athletes, and talks about why perfectionism is often tied to achieving peak performance.

To learn more about Alyssa and her practice, head over to  insideedgecounseling.com, and be sure to check out the blog for useful tips and tricks!

Jeremy is joined this week by author, activist, and poet Mark Green to talk about his new book Round We Dance. Jeremy and Mark talk about the need for a book on how to do rituals, why ritual is so important to the human psyche, and how to approach ritual outside of an organized religious setting. It’s a wide-ranging chat that covers a lot, and the book is a wonderful resource on how to approach meaning-making rituals in a practical way.

To learn more about Mark, you can check out his blog about Atheopaganism, get his previous book Atheopaganism: An Earth Honoring Path Rooted in Science, or check out the Suntree Retreat coming up this fall (where Jeremy will also be a speaker). Mark is also a co-host of The Wonder podcast about science-based paganism.

Jeremy gets the chance to sit down with the delightful Kit Weathers for a neurodivergent chat. We talk about Kit’s journey from pastor’s kid, to missionary, to deconstructing and becoming a sex therapist and religious trauma recovery coach, with some mental health diagnoses sprinkled in. Kit and Jeremy talk about finding the good parts of church outside of religion, the privileged space religion gets in our society, and the way neurodivergent brains find each other for support. We also talk about sad dad music because Kit’s practice is named in reference to one of my favorite bands. It’s a great chat that covers a lot of ground, check it out!
To learn more about Kit and their practice, head over to lemonworld.online or give them a follow on Instagram. Kit also has a great group called De-indoctrinated over on Facebook, and offers live workshops on their social media, so be sure to give them a follow!
