4 Things with Amy Brown

Is It a Red Flag If He Doesn't Like Dogs or Cats? with Dr. Josie Horchak

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/19f18aa1-bd27-49fd-a35f-b1b1005395f6/transcript

It's an ‘OG’ episode…4 random things ft. Amy & her niece, Adelyn! FIRST THING: Rare Skin Care Tips That You Should Know! Like wearing gloves while driving, brushing your teeth before skincare & washing your hands before you wash your face.

SECOND THING: Solo Dates for the Win!! Benefits of going on a solo date: Stress relief, Foster independence + confidence, Enhances creativity and problem solving, Appreciation for relationships, Meet new people, Self-discovery. Homework: Everyone go on a solo date and report back what they did and what it was like! Related to 'solo dates' is finding your 'third place'...Therapy Kat recently did an episode on 'third places' so click here to listen: Where Did All the Third Places Go?

THIRD THING: Have you heard this TIPP to quickly get out of ‘fight or flight’? TIPP skills (developed by Marsha Linehan) get your nervous system out of the sympathetic state (fight or flight) and into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest). T - Temperature - put an icepack on your face or dunk your face in cold water for about 30 secs. I - Intense Exercise- do some form of aerobic exercise for several minutes. P - Paced Breathing- slow your breathing. Inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 7 counts. P - Paired Muscle RElaxation- Tense and release each muscle group while you say “relax”. Amy & Adelyn also go over the 3 H’s Of Feeling: HEAR, HAVE & HELP (learn more HERE)

FOURTH THING: Amy wants to dig up her dad’s ashes after seeing a girl post on IG that she had smoothe white stones made out of her dad’s ashes. She was able to get 40-80 stones for everyone in the family to have. All you have to do is send your loved one’s ashes to Parting Stones and they will turn the ashes into stones! Cool, right?? I need my dad as a stone.

Why We Want To: Wear Driving Gloves, Go On Solo Dates, Relax Fast & Dig Up Dad's Ashes

From fun recommendations to vulnerable journal entries, Amy & Kat talk about all kinds of things! Amy found a journal documenting her first 8 days of being a mom when her kids arrived from Haiti and, well, after reading through them, she realized her experience was far more difficult than she recalls (case in point: the quote in the title of this episode about the desire to rip a face off...yep THAT is something Amy said to her then husband, Ben, at the time!) Kat shares with us a psychological phenomenon called rosy retrospection which is remembering something more positively than it was actually experienced. That was clearly a tough season for Amy...that led to some laughs with Kat during this episode. They also do a little show & tell sharing some items/things they've been into lately (see links below for some stuff mentioned!) + remember per Kat's things: cross the simple things off your list & if at first you don't succeed.....paint the canvas white and try again!

Have the day you need to have and come back Thursday for the 4 things episode! Bye!!

Oh & check out You Need Therapy Podcast when you're done listening to this! 

Big Magic (today's quote was also from page 13 of this book and it's a list of the many ways in which we might be afraid to live a more creative life!) 

Tissue Box Cover (this is the cutest thing that Amy only was attracted to finally order because she's sick & only $7.99) 

Chic Toilet Bowl Brush & Holder (random but you may need this & it's so good/chic for $12.99)

“I Want to Rip Your Face Off” & More (5th Thing)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/bb53581d-fd88-4bc6-ab44-b1b600535d7a/transcript

Amy & Kat give advice to a listener that emailed asking how to juggle things in life she’s not good at (yet!) like cleaning/organizing, finances, and physical health. Intern Adelyn teaches us about ‘tinned fish girls’ and Amy quizzes Kat to see if she has a ‘girl math brain’ (ex: if you’re paying someone back for dinner and you have money in your Venmo account, that dinner is free, or anything you buy with a gift card is free!! haha) 

QUOTE:
“Our outer worlds invariably affect our inner worlds and vice versa.” 
– Danielle Roeske, Psy.D

5 Mental Health Benefits of Cleaning:
- Sense of order and control
- Familiarity and consistency
- Released endorphins
- Improved focus
- Regulated emotions
