Check ups are part of everyday life. Medical, dental, even our cars require regular maintenance and we all know it.  Why does Mental Health take a backseat?  Historical an cultural stigmas play a role, but what other forces are at work to hold us back from maintaining our mental health?  Here we discuss some warning signs to make ourselves aware of in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Join us as we talk with our co-host Aaron about the loss of his father two weeks ago.  Listen as we hear how Aaron manages his grief and loss, while at the same time working as a therapist with high-risk kids.  How will he manage when his kids (aka his clients), want to talk about their loss?

Not all of us are the "perfect"parents.  Many aren't.  Well none are, but some are better than others.  How can we cope with the feelings and behaviors associated with less than ideal behaviors in other's children?  This episode aims to address some do's and don'ts when it come to challenging children in our families and community.

The Holidays are over and its time to get back to work.  Or school.  But how can we cope with the feelings associated with this?  How can we get back on schedule without undue stress?  What self-care actions are going to be effective?  How can we get our groove back? We address these issues and more in this episode.

We are living in interesting times, but are we really?  Have things really changed or are we experiencing the same issues, but differently?  How can we manage anxiety in times that feel almost too much to bear.  In this episode we tackle the stress of our times.

Avoidance is an issue that can be helpful....and harmful.  When is it time to get help?  Avoiding burnout, for example, is a good thing.  Avoiding your spouse is not.  In this episode we tackle this topic and offer helpful solutions for when avoidance becomes a problem.

Self-care.  What does it mean?  Many believe they are practicing self-care while still experiencing depression and or anxiety.  And the holidays don't help.  It is important to take extra time to monitor self and carefully examine your practice of self-care.  In this episode we discuss the term and apply self-love to our holiday routines.  

People think they know what therapy is; a quick fix, a savior, or a bandaid.  Well it's not.  In this podcast, three therapist guide you through how to find a therapist, what a good therapeutic relationship is like, how to spot red flags with your therapist, and what it takes to become a therapist.
