Tonya is back to bust some of the myths we hear about couples therapy, like couples therapy is only if you're about to break up; the therapist is always taking a side; and couples therapy is only beneficial when you plan on staying together. As two couples therapists, we know how communicating to your partner that you want to go to couples therapy, isn't always received in the best way. That's okay, and common actually. We share different suggestions on talking about couples therapy, and ways to make this step more comfortable for your partner. Hope you enjoy!

Did you know there are 7 different types of rest!? It’s true; while the most commonly known is physical rest, there can be times where we are chilling on the couch, watching a movie or we wake up in the morning after a long sleep, but don't feel well rested. This may be because we are only engaging in one type of rest. Destinee is back to talk about the different types of rest, how we can recognize when we need to pracitce that type of rest, and ways to rest in these areas. We talk about our own challenges with resting, and how spending time in nature is a good way of resting for all the types! Enjoy!

Episode 14 - Social Media & Our Mental Health with Tonya Beattie 50:34

منذ 15 weeks50:34

Social media has its pros, such as a great space to connect with family and friends, learn new things like tutorials, catch up on our favourite celebs and feeling seen and validating by some content. But it can also be a space where bullying happens, we disconnect with things in real life, can become addicting, and we can be consuming information that can be heavy and/or harmful to us. Tonya joins us to talk about why social media is such a big deal in our lives, how to set boundaries and model boundaries to teens around us, and the harmful impacts of mental health speak in social media. We get real about the psychoeducational information and how its impacted us, as well as our own ways of connecting through social media - after all, that is how Ivonne met Tonya (thanks Instagram!). We hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to comment your favourite parts of this episode below!
