Therapists at Play

Listen, validate, be in the moment — all of these skills are useful in both therapy and improv. In this episode, Jeri and Rachel explore the places where therapy and improv meet and how valuable those intersections can be. Plus: A bonus improv game where we construct the Perfect Therapist!

Question: Do therapists need therapy?

Answer: You bet we do!

In this episode, Jeri and Rachel talk about some of the benefits, barriers, and taboos of therapists seeking therapy. 

What is self-care, anyway? In this episode, Rachel & Jeri bust some myths about self-care and offer you permission to do it your way. Plus they solve all the world's problems through an improv game at the end. Well, maybe a few problems. Or maybe no problems, but they have fun doing it!

Yes? No? Maybe? Creating boundaries can be hard! In this episode, Jeri & Rachel discuss the importance of knowing what we want and still being open to possibilities at the same time. Plus, discover the 5 things we each would NEVER want to do again...

Mistakes! We all make them. We usually don't like them. Yet maybe they exist so we can learn and grow? Hear about some of our (not) favorite mistakes in this episode, and take comfort knowing you're not the only one who messes up from time to time.
