The integrative approach to mental health is not new but it's not widely practiced. Yet. It is rapidly picking up steam especially in the past few years given the events of our time and the fact that the pills our clients are taking aren't working well and at best, they ...

Episode 17 is all about self-esteem; what it is, the self-esteem movement, how it was hijacked and deeply affected our social fabric in a bad way and how it affects us all to this day.

This may sound like a 2nd grade book report but this week we're going to review, "Kip Goes to a School Board Meeting" and see what shakes out of that tree. She got an earful about the overall attitude of school counselors and what they think about how our kids ...

Our culture, our world, is being attacked by a powerful group of people who obviously want to divide us all and keep us at each others' throats. How else do you explain what's going on? Kathleen and Kip spend a few minutes talking about the gender pronoun nonsense, and why ...

Kip Rodgers and I talk about the taboo topic: are the covid shots causing more problems, and in larger numbers, than it's solving? We come at this topic through the lens of the recent "event" on Monday Night Football and the large number of athletes dropping dead on the field. ...

Like a lot of traditional professions, especially those in which you work for your self, you're not likely to be pulling down the big 6-figure income straight out of school. Even those who have been at it for awhile may find it tough sledding. You have to build that practice ...

Two things I've learned, especially since 2021, is that mental health issues are definitely linked to what's happening elsewhere in the body, and more pills just aren't cuttin' it. In this episode Kip and I are going to get into that and talk about my experiences in the past two ...

Kips' fired up about the idea that the mental health profession is a "captured operation". If you've ever felt like ideas, processes, and regulations that feel very foreign to the counseling profession you grew up with are being forced on the profession, well you're not alone. Listen carefully as these ...

Sex with your clients or anyone else you're not in a monogamous relationship with is a risky business. Forget the moral clause associated with that statement, convince me from a pure math perspective that you're safer. You can't do it. This week Kathleen and Kip throw this topic around and ...

We're becoming "professional friends". Counseling used to mean holding clients accountable, helping them determine boundaries, and steering them towards brutal examination, where needed. (Still does in my office!) Sadly, we seem to be devolving into a professional culture that that, as one friend of mine put it, is all about ...

To the very small segment of our society that thinks the standard response to every boy that ever played with a doll, or every girl that likes to play sports with the boys should be, "schedule the surgery", we're asking, what's your hurry? What kind of world have we devolved ...

Supervision programs, good ones, are scarce. We just finished another 40-Hour supervisor training class with a fantastic group of future mentors and that got me to thinking about a few things, which got Kip to thinking about them, too, and here we go! Tell me what your thoughts are on ...

Mental toughness isn't toxic or harmful, but it is lacking these days and that hasn't gone unnoticed by The Therapy Sisters. In this episode, Kip Rodgers LPC-S leads the conversation in an effort to chart a course back from the edge of the River Weak, and help us all understand ...

Mentally soft vs mentally strong. The story of our counseling professions, right? We'll always have some of both but it seems as if the past 50-60 years has really tipped the scales toward the weaker side of the spectrum. We're raising mentally soft generations! Maybe we're wrong. I don't think ...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! In this week's episode Kip Rodgers and I explore a topic, mass delusional psychosis, that plays a large part in the whole group-think mentality and causes large numbers of people to blindly follow a lead. And as history ...
