Maybe You Should Talk to Someone...

Hosts Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) turn their focus to counseling and its role in overall health in this episode, “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.”Through personal stories and professional insight, the hosts explore why counseling can be a powerful tool for processing life’s challenges, gaining perspective, and fostering emotional and relational growth. They discuss how unresolved experiences, patterns, and “normal” family dynamics often shape current struggles—and how having an objective, trusted space to process can bring clarity and healing.The conversation highlights what makes counseling effective, emphasizing the importance of the relationship between counselor and client, the value of confidentiality, and the reality that meaningful change happens both inside and outside the counseling room. They also address common hesitations—such as feeling like you “should be able to handle it on your own”—and reframe counseling as a supportive, collaborative process rather than a last-resort solution.Listeners are guided through practical considerations like how to find the right counselor, what to expect from the process, and why starting before a crisis can lead to deeper, more sustainable growth. Throughout, the hosts reinforce the importance of community, connection, and stewardship of emotional health as essential components of holistic wellbeing.This episode offers an honest and approachable look at counseling, encouraging listeners to seek support, stay curious about their own patterns, and engage in the work of growth with both intention and grace.
