Gabrielle Fecteau: Soar Above Cancer

Alex Daros

Shame and stigma can be powerful forces, and Alex is on a mission to confront them in his life. We talk about his experience attending an all-boys Catholic high school, the confusion of trying to date women, and wondering, “what’s wrong with me,” and finally in his 20’s more fully embracing his sexual orientation as a gay man. Alex talks about his journey to becoming a psychologist, and wonders whether focusing on others was a subconscious way to shift the focus away from himself. Finally, we discuss being socialized in female dominated professions, and the inadvertent challenges, ironically, of working with men.You can connect with Alex online at:https://www.cbtassociates.com/cbt-associates-team/dr-alexander-r-daros/https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/alexander-r-daros-toronto-on/721031If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate us and leave a review at Apple Podcast, or share this episode with a friend.

Alex Daros: Confronting Shame

Resilience

There’s no question that the theme of loss has permeated throughout Tanya’s life: the loss of innocence, the loss of ideal family relationships, the loss of health… And while that shone through in our conversation, what stood out MOST is her unbelievable resilience and tenacity. Tanya talks about the confusion and loneliness of being a child witnessing domestic violence, and exposits the questions that children can ask themselves: Am I somehow responsible? Am I doing enough? These questions have lingered for some time, however, when her daughter was diagnosed with a rare health condition, she was forced to confront them in a new context. Tanya describes how she learned to not blame herself for things that are out of her control, and that accepting the problem is not the same as being OK with it.Tanya runs a successful private practice in Kitchener, Ontario, and has over 20 years of experience in the mental health field.

Tanya Young: Resilience Runs Deep

Alison Maratos

Who am I outside of the therapy room, and why can’t I turn my brain off? We discuss working in a profession that beckons us to keep it together, and then needing a place to let it all out. Alison touches upon a family history of mental illness, and what she refers to a Capital “D” and Lower Case “D” depression. We also share our own “going to a therapist” horror stories and the lengths we go to not repeat them with our clients. Alison is the owner of Maratos Counselling and Consulting Services, in Brantford, Ontario. She most recently launched “The Practice Companion,” an online resource designed to help therapists create a successful private practice.

Alison Maratos: Who Am I When I'm Not A Therapist?

Abby Rozen

Abby is the self-proclaimed “World’s Okayest Therapist,” at least that’s what her t-shirt says. As such, she is constantly meeting pressure head-on with humour and a healthy dose of reality. We sit down to talk about the many “flavours” of shame and how it can be a barometer at times to gauge burnout and stress. Abby discusses growing up with refugee parents who lived in the shadows of the Holocaust, and how “fixing the problem” became her source of validation from an early age. Finally, being diagnosed late in life with ADHD, she debunks the well intentioned, but often-misguided expression, “You’re just not trying hard enough.”Abby is the co-owner and clinical director of The Healing Collective in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is currently taking new referrals in her private practice. You can find out more information by visiting www.healingcollective.ca and www.abbyrozen.com.If you have comments or feedback for the show, I'd love to hear from you!

Abby Rozen: No Such Thing As Lazy

Candice does it all… she’s a mother, a therapist, and an entrepreneur, seemingly finding time for everyone and everything, even, herself? Candice talks about the notion of not having enough time to not be okay; feeling like an “outsider” throughout her life, and how this may have contributed to a strong sense of independence. Sometimes being overly independent, however, had the unintentional consequence of pushing people away. Together we reflect on her personal journey, discuss unusual techniques to enhance memory, and touch upon the surprising similarities between sex therapy and play therapy.Candice is the owner of CHM Therapy Services, in Milton and Guelph, Ontario. She and her staff are currently offering online counselling services for individuals and families during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is the Co-Founder of The Milton Divorce and Separation Support Group, and curates “The Yellow Couch with CHM,” a YouTube channel dedicated to providing mental health support through videos and video blogs.

Candice Hamilton-Miller: On The Outside Looking In

Michael Goldberg

Mike was never someone who liked being told what to do. Growing up with learning disabilities and ADHD, he struggled through high school, until finally discovering what the admonition, “You need to apply yourself,” meant for him. When he was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of fourteen, he used this opportunity to look at things through the lens of a challenge, as opposed to tragedy. Together we explore the role humour plays in living with what he refers to as, “The war stories of illness and disability;” including, “diabetic party-tricks” from the Diabetic Talent Show. We also talk surgeries, recovery, and prescription drugs, and what to do when the hope of finding a solution seems lost.Mike has over 16 years experience working with children, adolescents and young adults with developmental disabilities, autism, and learning exceptionalities. He is also the co-founder of the research initiative Alliance of Heroes. You can find more information by checking out www.counsellingandbehaviour.com and www.allianceofheroes.org.If you have comments or feedback for the show, I'd love to hear from you!

Michael Goldberg: Diabetic Party-Tricks

Gillian Reid

Gillian comes from a long line of doers. In fact, “just keep going when times get tough," was sort of a family trait. When depression hit in high school, she did what she knew best, keep forging ahead and keep achieving. By the time she reached university, however, years of stuffing it down had taken its toll, which led to an emotional crash. Gillian talks about how this became a turning point in her life, ultimately setting her on a path towards health and wellness. Together we discuss the woo-woos of mindfulness meditation, our evolving identities, and get into the nitty-gritty of motherhood and gender inequality. We also ponder the question, “What would be different if men were the ones giving birth?” I bet there’d be a prize at the end.You can find more information on Gillian, The Present Mom Project, or any of her other services, at www.motherzen.ca, or follow her at www.instagram.com/zengillian.If you have comments or feedback for the show, I'd love to hear from you!

Gillian Reid: Mother Zen

Cim is no stranger to overcoming adversity; in fact she’s had more than her fair share, from a life-changing injury that forced her to dash her dreams as a professional dancer, to the ensuing chronic pain that has stuck around till this day. Yet all of these experiences couldn’t prepare her for when her husband experienced a severe brain injury one year into their marriage. She talks candidly about the impact on their relationship, readjusting to life, and their infamous neurosurgeon that gained notoriety for all the wrong reasons. I also share my brain injury story, as we discuss the ups and downs of recovery, and how a certain mindset might’ve made all the difference.Cim has been practicing in Toronto since 2012. She specializes in multi-disciplinary psychotherapy and works primarily with adults seeking individual counselling. You can find out more about her practice by going to her website www.therapyfortotalhealth.ca or check her out downtown at www.bewellclinic.ca.If you have comments or feedback for the show, I'd love to hear from you!

She talks candidly about the impact on their relationship, readjusting to life, and their infamous neurosurgeon that gained notoriety for all the wrong reasons. I also share my brain injury story, as we discuss the ups and downs of recovery, and how a certain mindset might’ve made all the difference.Cim has been practicing in Toronto since 2012. She specializes in multi-disciplinary psychotherapy and works primarily with adults seeking individual counselling.

Daniel Farb: The Wounded Healer

Get ready for a peek behind the curtain into the personal lives of therapists. This is not your average show about what therapists do, it's a show about who they are. Each episode, therapists are interviewed and revealed to be vulnerable, courageous, everyday people with common struggles of their own. And you thought YOU were the only one with problems! Whether you're a therapist, in therapy, or simply curious, tune in to find out how much more alike we really are.

Bonnie Miller: Embracing Impermanence

Sam Robinson

Sam talks about his experience of childhood sexual abuse, and how that experience spawned a seemingly lifelong on-again/off-again relationship with what he refers to as existential aloneness. Getting fired without cause, and several bouts of depression later, he ultimately got back on the horse by reinventing himself in order to get through a really dark time. Sam touches on his new book of short stories, "Neither...Nor," and the two of us regale one another with how laughter can show up in the most unsuspecting of places.To purchase your copy of Neither...Nor, visit The Printed Word, in Dundas, or King West Books, in Hamilton.If you have comments or feedback, I'd love to hear from you!
