Trailer for Therapy Unplugged: Empowerment, Laugher and Life

An introduction to Sarah Benoit, LCMHC, LMHC and Meaghan McCulla, LCMHC, CH. We give brief work backgrounds, and discuss why we decided to start a podcast.

Many people come to therapy thinking that no one else is experiencing, feeling or thinking the same things they are. The truth is, while the individual stories may be different, the themes are often the same - and at the end of the day we are more alike than we are different.

Today we explore some of those common themes and look at ways to help normalize those experiences.

Welcome to our first bonus episode! Meaghan has created a brief progressive relaxation that can be used anytime you are feeling stress, overwhelm, or worry. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.

At some point everyone has felt overwhelmed. In today's episode we talk about what overwhelm can look like, and healthy strategies to help navigate and manage those feelings.

In this episode one of the strategies we talk about is the use of apps for time management. Meaghan specifically talks about Goblin Tools. You can find it at https://Goblin.Tools and it's downloadable where you find your apps.

The other two apps that we mentioned included todoist, http:/www.todoist.com and Splitti, https://splitti.app.

Other apps you may want to check out include:

Headspace

SAM App

Any.do

Coach.me

Mindbody

Sleep Cycle

Tempo

Bliss

A quick overview of how to box breathe, and the benefits of doing so.

Leaning into your authenticity can be challenging. In this episode, we talk about what it means to be your authentic self, why it can feel hard to be authentic, and ways to help speak your truth in a more honest and healthy way.

One of the points that Meaghan talks about is vulnerability. She gives credit to Brene Brown and her extensive work on this topic.
