Kathryn DeFatta, who has earned her Masters of Education from Vanderbilt University in Human Development Counseling, is inviting you into conversations around what it’s like to live fully in a world where we’ve become accustomed to shut parts of ourselves off. Here you will find a space that welcomes in discomfort, tough questions, and hard truths, all while showing how to find joy through it all.

Couch Talks:  I Can't Find a Counseling Internship

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c960f83f-127a-4f7b-a681-b08300110ebb/transcript

Who remembers their first time? This week, Kat, Josie, and Julia reminisce on the first time they ever went to therapy. And surprise! All of their experiences were a little bit different. Kat refused to speak in her session, Julia's may have told her therapist what she didn't like about her, and Josie was wishing her therapist was "cooler". 

Kat wanted to have a conversation that talked about what it is like to go to therapy for the first time and what you may experience yourself because doing new things can be super intimidating. While we can't tell you exactly what it will be like- we can give you three perspectives from three different therapists. In this episode we answer listener questions including:
What happens if I don't know what to talk about in session?
How many sessions will it take to know if your therapist is the right fit?
What kind of questions does a therapist ask during the first session?
As a therapist, how do you prepare for a new client and what are some ways you try to ease the discomfort of a first timer?
How do you get over the fear of embarrassment knowing you will cry the whole time? 
AND MORE!

Couch Talks: Am I Too Attached To My Therapist?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7c789d22-63b4-462f-bfa0-b22000e5b0d8/transcript

This week, Kat is helping us differentiate between having a heated debate and having a respectful conversation. Every human is going to find themselves in a conversation where they do not agree with some of the other parties involved. While that may not be fun or ideal— it doesn’t mean you have to fight them! In this episode you will learn how reframing the goals of your “disagreements”  allows you to understand your peers, friends, and partners better and vice versa.
