Evergreen Thinking with Kelsee Kelsee Keitel

"I'm addicted to social media. I love it and I hate it."

"Making friends as an adult is so damn hard."



These are some of the most common issues that I listen to from my therapy couch, as the majority of folks I serve are between the ages of 22-40.



My conclusion is that what we deeply desire as a generation is: INTIMACY.



Not the hot and heavy, sexual intimacy, but a sacred closeness with other humans. with FRIENDS.



We're not sure how to make new friends or sustain the existing connections we do have. And social media isn't helping like we hoped it would.



In this episode I'm bringing a new spin to the conversation around social media and adult friendships, offering some guidance based on my experience and ideas I've changed my mind about, and shedding some light on the difference between "vulnerable" sharing online versus true intimacy IRL.



I hope you love this thought provoking episode- number 50!!

So you scheduled your first therapy appointment and you want to know what comes next. OR You're on the fence about therapy, because you aren't sure what will happen in the sessions.



Is the therapist going to make you talk about your childhood and analyze your dreams while you're laying on a couch?



The process can vary a little from therapist-to-therapist, depending on modalities being used, what issues have brought you to therapy or your therapist’s personality, but I want to tell you exactly what will GENERALLY happen if you sign up for therapy with me, from the moment you reach out to schedule, to the very last session we have together, and everything in between.



In this episode I’m gonna tell you what questions I ask on my intake form, how long therapy might take, what happens if you regress in your progress, and even what you’re paying for behind the scenes beyond the 50 minutes that we are together.

Today we are looking at a more sustainable approach to becoming your best self. This episode weaves together some practical strategies with contrarian concepts regarding the ideas of commitment and personal change.

Learn:


How to commit to a vision rather than getting lost in the commitment to tasks.
To build habits upon habits, 2 at a time.
To maintain healthy habits even when life throws a curveball.
How to tap into the "wise-mind" in order to stop bad habits.
Why "WHY" isn't that important for initiating change.
A better way to use sticky-notes for habit formation.
What is a spectrum of improvement and what makes it so effective.

And remember that you still deserve to enjoy your life in the present, before you've actualized all your goals.

Why is it so hard to find a therapist who accepts insurance?? Why is therapy so expensive?

Insurance and pricing are HOT topics amongst both therapists and clients alike.

In this short episode, I'm explaining a few reasons why some therapists (myself included) choose not to panel with insurance, and some tips on how to make therapy more affordable for yourself as a client whether you are paying with or without insurance!

I see a lot of well-intended attempts at boundary setting. And it makes me proud! Setting boundaries is tough, and for many of us recovering people-pleasers, it is even harder.



But there a crucial key that MOST folks are missing in their boundary setting: consequences. By missing this step, it is nearly impossible to enforce a boundary.



In this quick and practical episode, I'm going to walk you through my 3-step, gold-standard formula for communicating a boundary in a way that is easy to establish and even easier to enforce.



We'll pay special attention to the missing key- consequences, and get you set up this holiday season to use boundaries with confidence, whether thats with family and loved ones, or in the workplace.



In this episode I share that from Nov 20 - Nov 27 my signature e-course, Boundaries for Abundance is on SALE for 50% off!!
