"We're starting off light... with suicide." Kati, I am laughing so hard that I am in tears. Thank you for being amazing. Always proud to be your patron.

An hour of Kati? SO HERE FOR THIS 28:19 is SO RELATABLE😂

Enjoying watching it. I think It'd be nice to have timestamps for each question! 1:57 Have you ever lost a client to suicide? If so how did that make you feel? 3:40 When can therapy be more harmful than beneficial? 8:16 Do you ever get frustrated with clients not making progress? How do you address that issue? 14:56 I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but what is the process for clients if a therapist dies? I feel like it would be very traumatic and a setback. 19:12 How to access and fix unconscious negative beliefs that have formed in early childhood and strengthened during growing up? 31:00 How can you open up and talk about your feelings if all you feel is numbness? For me, I don't know how to describe my emotions... What do you think this means? Thank you! 37:20 What made you want to become a therapist? 49:04 How do you improve the feeling that you’re stuck in your routine, and the day to day just isn’t as interesting or fulfilling anymore? 56:15 How do you know what should be dealt with through therapy and what should be dealt with chemically?

I've been seeing my therapist for a year and she is hands down the best therapist I have ever seen or will ever see, truly life-changing. But we have never had a treatment plan, nor do I think that would have even been of any benefit to me. A treatment plan, whilst useful for severe conditions, for most patients suggests that there is an "end" to therapy which never happens. Self-development and emotional mastery is an eternal skill, and it can't be "reached" in a way a plan would dictate

Kati.... Your voice is so calming 😭❤️

I love hearing you swear so much and tell us to just deal with it. Makes you seem so much more down to earth

I’m so happy you’re starting a podcast, it gives me something to look forward to regularly!!! 💙💙

Numbness, for me, is like being an observer with the ability to interact but without the will to do so in a way that is more than passive. Passive interactions won't necessarily be the most beneficial, but the emotional numbness prohibits our ability to invest in seeing through a positive outcome. It's a feeling of "letting the chips fall where the may." Then a self-resentment for not having proactively engaged more in getting your own self interests met.

I’m so hyped for more of these!!

i love this kati. it's a more "chill" style of sharing your wisdom, like a friendly chat. i think this is my favourite thing of yours to date. thankyou so much for being you, and doing everything you do. you have a beautiful soul, and just for the record you ARE so worthy, and you are so enough. shoosh those silly beliefs that try to convince you otherwise, because they definately aren't true. you are appreciated more than you'd ever know in this world. sending lots of light and love your way.

She answered my question 😍😍😍. That made me so happy. 1st one was mine. Thank you for talking about this.

Everything about why you love being a therapist, could have been myself talking about what I have loved about being a teacher...especially watching "my kids" grow up and marry, have their own kids, etc (even though it makes me feel super OLD sometimes, despite being only 43, LOL)!♡>"<

Thank you, Kati. You make perfect sense to me! 😊

This is awesome! Thank you for branching out in this way. I love the way you let us see how this is new for you, it comes off as more real than the first podcast being so polished and "perfect." I appreciate your channel, and all the hard work you've put into this. 💜

My husband and I (married 36 years/ high school sweethearts) are new to therapy and finding it's very helpful. He sees his locally, mine the online sessions "betterhelp" . But we watch your videos, podcasts together and we both greatly appreciate your help, clear teachings and find we're learning a lot. Thank you for doing what you do and so well - so honest! Btw totally getting the journal & love the title! 😁💗

I love the intro

So glad about this - spend over 10 hours a week commuting to work and back. Something new to listen to :)

I rarely comment but I genuinely enjoyed this so much and would love for another one, really appreciate you Kati! ❤️

So many levels of amazing!! thank you, thank you for taking the time to make this 🙏 both you and Sean. P.s no need to apologise for it "maybe being boring" this is what we're here for 💜
