Therapy Menu & POC Experiences in Therapy

Adrian, Molly, Benita, and Abby are joined on the couch this week by our housemate & favorite history teacher, Marilyn! We explore the idea of a “Therapy Menu,” where your therapist gives you options for potential topics to dig into. Our menu suggestions include childhood trauma, attachment styles, boundaries, genograms, power & control, money, and more. What would you add?? Marilyn also shares about teachers’ mental health in COVID, and we discuss the experiences of people of color in therapy, including why white, mediocre therapists are sometimes okay (and why we hope they do better). And we share some stories about getting the second vaccine shot, gender reveal parties, and confetti gone wrong. Hope this episode makes you laugh and helps you on your own therapy journey!
