Money Is My Master

My laptop had spyware which freaked me out. I quit a job that I should have left awhile ago, but you know, "abandonment issues".

Breakups. Breakdowns.

August 09, 2021 08:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MB

I have a man in my life who texts me every single time I am about to experience a breakup.  It's a sign.  Which led me to believe breaking up with Teja was the right decision and not actually rooted in trauma.  My therapist asks me to take a step-back and reflect on my break-up with Ithan which led to a wild weekend in Chicago and purchasing a break-up puppy.  We also talk about what a healthy breakup may look like in the future.   --  TW - This podcast contains sensitive topics (most times)...

I was a little hesitant to tell my therapist about my mushroom trips I mean, I talked to my dog, a purple circle of intelligence, and my dead grandma, but he was open to the discussion, so I did.

My therapist tells me about a novel, Untethered Soul by Michael Singer and how it relates to my mushroom trip experience.

Sapiosexuals Anonymous

Sugar & Spice

May 31, 2021 07:00 - 53 minutes - 37 MB

I put my instagram on private and then saw that I had a hometown follower, a horror, so I told my therapist. Somehow that leads to me exposing my sugaring experiences.

Training Wheels

May 24, 2021 09:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MB

My therapist let me know that he thinks emotion is energy in motion. I told him how I try to see emotion as colour, and he let me know we can take it further. So now, I'm learning how to identify emotions using Plutchik's model, and it turns out my lack of emotional regulation could be related to a lack of development, due to childhood trauma. I also discuss the things i find funniest in this world and how Teja's thinking annoys me to my core.  -- Links Interactive version of Plutchick's Wh...

What's The Plan

May 03, 2021 14:00 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MB

I had to find out what the plan for this therapy thing was, I mean, I live by spreadsheets so it's only natural.  Also in this session, I tell my therapist about the time my friend caught me in a weird act, I vent about how my ex boyfriend was always late, and how crying became part of my skin care routine. My therapist told me that this was because I need to feel safe, have control, and attempt to avoid chaos based on , you guessed it, my childhood. So, now,  I am attempting to become respo...
