Episode Details

Real talk, I sometimes need support emotionally from a counselor. Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Even though I work in a therapy setting I am not ashamed to say that I need help sometimes too. Just someone who is a neutral party to help me find methods to cope and to confide in about stressors. If you’ve ever experienced distress and felt stuck, this will be a good episode for you! Ambivalence focuses on the tricky part of why sometimes we can’t “just do it.” Here I talk about situations like crushes, why is it so hard to just ask a person out to find out the answer to if they like you too? Why is it hard in those vulnerable moments to let the guard down and allow the ego to be exposed without feeling defensive? And how can we get more comfortable if we become shy, anxious, or worried about something we REALLY REALLY WANT BUT JUST CANNOT SEEM TO BUILD THE COURAGE.
