Check out this weeks episode of Off the Beaten Path, as we interview fellow therapist Betsey Farasey. We continue our dive into a relevant COVID-19 situation and discuss healthy ways to help your children through the 2020-21 school year.
Community Routes: Difficult Conversations Revisited
This week we discuss the hard topic of difficult conversations. With COVID 19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, it's imperative that we learn how to talk with each other. Samuel shares his experience with Communication Theory, which compliments Julie's mental health studies. We tackle felt safety, as well as some strategies for calming down. I hope you enjoy this week!
Community Routes: Coronavirus, Stress, and the Body
Community Routes: Long Term Resiliency
Part 2 of our COVID-19 discussion as we check in about what has been the hardest part for us personally, what has been helpful, and what we are learning through the quarantine. We process the exhaustion and stress, how to care for ourselves in the midst of it all and find post-traumatic growth through resiliency in the long haul. Our gratitude and relational connections help keep us strong in knowing that we are not alone. Join us for words of wisdom from Bruce Perry, Maya Angelou, Stephen Porges, and the Polyvagal Theory as we learn how to navigate through trauma.
Community Routes: Coronavirus and Quarantine
We are so excited to be back! We fired up the ol' laptops and recorded from home. This week is a lot to process, so don't hesitate to take a break during the episode to take a deep breath, drink a glass of water, or to take a walk outside. I hope in this time of uncertainty that our episode is helpful in describing some of the emotions we go through during crises like this.
