This podcast is perfect for the ADHD brain in traffic. It helps me feel grounded and meditative rather than upset or lingering on details of the day.
Great information, an example of what a caring therapist should be and shares skills to help your healing journey
Emma! Thank you for your work. I have been looking for this for years. Now I have actions to take when the ANTs are trying to drive the bus. This episode was immensely helpful and I’m excited to listen to more. Your friendly tone and simple examples are just what I needed today.
I am so grateful for your work. It has helped me immensely and I learn something new and valuable each time I listen to it Best podcast about mental health I have listened to. And I have some experience:).
The content looks great. The background noises in the episode I want to listen to as a trial make it actually impossible to listen to this podcast or take in any of the information. (ACT episode). They are very distracting, startling, and confusing and make it so that you’re paying attention to the background noise and not the actual podcast. Otherwise, looks great.
I appreciate much of what Emma has to say and have benefited from learning about CBT and other techniques to take our thoughts captive. However, most of her guests make me understand why some people are leery of therapists and counseling. One of her guest speakers was a proponent of going “no contact “ with family and I was extremely disappointed for Emma to sympathize and even suggest that this is a healthy way to deal with family conflict. There should be so very few cases when going “no contact” should happen, not disagreements over parenting. “No contact” is a cult tactic that scars all individuals and relationships struggle to heal for years if and when reconciliation is possible. Emma is fantastic; at least I appreciate what she puts out on a regular basis. I’d like her better if she would challenge what some of her guests say, but I assume, sadly, she must agree with them.
