Lindsay and Calvin discuss the (somewhat) awkward situation of seeing clients in public. For many counselors, this can be a nerve-wracking experience, filled with catastrophic fears of losing their license. This conversation should put some of these fears to rest, and also remind us all of the central importance of mutual respect and an ongoing informed consent process.

"I had a terrible childhood...am I screwed?" Lots of psychotherapies are quietly deterministic in how they understand the relationship between the past and the present. "X event happened, so therefore I am this way." While of course the past is important in shaping who we are, a telelogical, goal-oriented, future-focused way of understanding human behavior can be more encouraging, empowering, and hopeful.

People (us too!) often act as if "I feel ________, and therefore you/I must _________." We say things like "I yelled because I was angry," or "I am upset when you offer criticism, so you must not criticize me." This is problematic, because it assumes that feelings are demands. Feelings are not demands, they are just feelings!
This episode will address:
How do you feel your feelings without letting them control your behavior?
What is the difference between responsiveness and accommodation in a relationship?
How do we take responsibility for our actions, rather than blaming those actions on our feelings?

A good rule for mental health is "Don't make things worse!" One way in which we do this is by making uncharitable assumptions of malice about those who hurt us. This conversation explores a (goofy) metaphor that shows us how these assumptions unnecessarily worsen our experience of life, making us more frightened and isolated from others.

To wrap up Season 1 of Picayune Conversations, Lindsay and Calvin discuss the idea of "first thought, second thought," noting that even though some patterns of thinking may be reflexive/automatic, we do maintain the choice of whether to reorient and give an alternate meaning to a scenario or experience. This powerful realization is applied specifically to self-compassion and self-respect, but can be generalized to other issues as well. The importance of avoiding toxic positivity or self-gaslighting is also discussed. Contact us: https://forms.gle/Y9hhTNEhzNx9sdwr6

It's tempting, especially for intuitive individuals, to avoid making (and maintaining) "pet theories" about others. This discussion explores the importance of humility and hypotheses for those who rely- however reliably- on their intuitions for understanding human behavior.

Counselors and therapists often describe themselves as "eclectic" in their approach to helping clients. But not all eclecticism is the same! This short conversation explores the difference between borrowing a broad range of tactics/skills/techniques and borrowing from sets of (sometimes) conflicting ideas about how people function and change.
