Outside The Therapy Room

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?”—this episode is for you.In this conversation, I sit down with Jordan, a couples psychotherapist, to unpack why these patterns happen in the first place. From attachment styles to nervous system familiarity, we explore how our past experiences shape who we’re drawn to—and why unhealthy dynamics can sometimes feel like “chemistry.”Most importantly, we talk about how to start breaking these cycles. What does it actually look like to choose differently? And how can you begin building something that actually feels secure and fulfilling?Follow NMCBook a Consult with JordanFollow us on social media:@outisdethetherapyroompodIf you're looking for a therapist and live in Ontario, feel free to visit our website here or contact us at [email protected] to work with one of our team members.

Healing doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.In this episode, I sit down with Sarah to talk about the small, often overlooked signs that you’re actually healing—even if it doesn’t feel like it. Because growth isn’t always loud or obvious… sometimes it’s quiet, uncomfortable, and easy to dismiss.We explore the subtle shifts that signal real change—like pausing before reacting, setting boundaries (even when it feels hard), outgrowing old patterns, and learning to sit with emotions you used to avoid.Remember, just because it doesn’t feel like progress, doesn’t mean it isn’t.Follow NMCBook a Consult with SarahFollow us on social media:@outisdethetherapyroompodIf you're looking for a therapist and live in Ontario, feel free to visit our website here or contact us at [email protected] to work with one of our team members.

In this episode, we’re having an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of this work — beyond what we were taught in grad school. From the pressure to be a “blank slate” to questioning old expectations like no self-disclosure or even having personal photos in your office, we explore how therapists have evolved over time and find their own voice in the room.Ashley and I also talk about the emotional weight of the work — thinking about clients outside of sessions, not always knowing how they’re doing, and navigating the complexity of caring deeply while maintaining boundaries.And for those in private practice, we get into the often-unspoken side of being both a therapist and a business owner — wearing multiple hats, managing a team, and holding the responsibility that comes with it.Follow Ashley (The Rogue Therapist)Ashley's WebsiteFollow us on social media:@outisdethetherapyroompodIf you're looking for a therapist and live in Ontario, feel free to visit our website here or contact us at [email protected] to work with one of our team members.
