Couch Talks: The Right Choice, The Wrong Choice, and The Best Choice For Me

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a565f8a1-dddf-428e-a942-b1f6006ba620/transcript

This week, Kat brings back licensed marriage and family therapist Staci Buford from Three Cords Therapy to tackle an insightful question from a listener about self-education. The listener asks how to navigate learning about sensitive topics—such as race, sexuality, and the experiences of war veterans—without placing the burden on those who live these experiences. Kat and Staci dive into the complexities of this issue, focusing particularly on racial dynamics. Staci shares her journey of learning during her therapy training, and the two provide practical resources and advice for those who want to educate themselves on these important topics.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or just need a break from it all, this simple yet effective exercise can bring you back to the present. Kat explains how you can use this method in everyday life and even create a go-to "sensory kit" to keep on hand when things get tough.
