Get Well Sooner

I'm back with a new season (yes I will continue to pretend every long break between episodes is on purpose) and this time I'm trying to treat some brand new symptoms and situations. I am basically both Moulder and Scully during any interaction with alternative medicinal practices, and acupuncture is no exception.

It's part two of my interview with ex-evangelical correspondent Gabby and ex-mormon correspondent Paul. We chat about losing your faith, literal demons, and the mental health pros and cons of religion.

In this episode, I pretend that my mental breakdown was actually just a break between season 1 and season 2. I also destroy the Love Languages to the best of my ability and take a look into the homophobe who invented them. Happy to be back, friends! 

Paul and I continue our talk about the LDS (aka Mormon) Word of Wisdom. No coffee (probably), no alcohol (maybe), and other restrictions create a perfect environment for obsession and perhaps addiction. If you haven't listened to the first part of the conversation go back one episode! 

Please tell your friends if you like this podcast, and/or pray for me. I will also accept good vibes and monetary donations. 

Paul is back to talk about mormonism and this time we are chatting about hot drinks! Mormons are not allowed to drink coffee or tea but it's a complicated rule that has changed over the past 150 years. We talk about drive-throughs for soft drinks, whether or not diet coke is allowed in Mormonism, and who you can visit in sad heaven. This episode is especially for our friend Amelia who is extremely amazing and we are thinking about her. Follow me on Instagram and make sure you subscribe to the podcast. 

UPDATE- I previously released this episode without any sound. It was just the theme song and then silence. My brain withdrawing from benzos and I forgot to give it a quick listen before I posted it. But here are my thoughts on more bad advice from therapists that I've collected, with more than a few digressions along the way.

Therapists are not always right. They are not always wrong either, but when they are, terrible things can happen. Email me your therapy horror stories at sarah.jickling@gmail.com. 

My friend of over 20 years chats with me about her spiritual journey from a little Christian girl at Jesus Camp to flirting with Mormonism to seminary school to a totally new view of the world. 

On the advice of my current therapist, I push through exhaustion and withdrawal symptoms to bring you this episode featuring some of the worst things a licensed professional counselor has ever said to me. If YOU've had some terrible therapy experiences, please come talk about it on the show! We can all learn from each other and know what to watch out for in the future. 

Subscribe to get the next episode straight to your feed because god knows I can't keep a normal schedule. 

I get into why I identify as a skeptic and my experience with "The Secret" and the law of attraction. I AM MAKING A VERY SUCCESSFUL PODCAST AND THE UNIVERSE LOVES ME. jk. 

A very unfiltered rant about why I want to make this podcast. Topics include Teal Swan, transcendental meditation, and my failed attempt to join a cult.
