In this episode, we go into our archives and bring back one of our first episodes EVER with our good friend, Ashley Torrent. Ashley is a psycho-spritual counselor and intuitive medium, Co-Host of “The Blue Butterfly Effect” and “The Practice of Love” podcasts, and recurring guest on the “Single on Purpose” podcast. Dené and Vanessa sit down to talk with Ashley about her journey and insights into holistic therapy, and her practice of blending clinical psychology with spiritual practices to help clients navigate their emotional and spiritual well-being and challenges.

Some Takeaways from this Episode:

✨ The importance of being present and curious about oneself, and how that practice of mindfulness can accelerate the healing process and give you insight to a bigger purpose, providing additional emotional support in your healing journey

✨ How combining empathy and intuition in therapy allows a deeper connection between therapist and client, allowing authentic connection and healing

✨ The challenges and rewards of being a therapist, particularly as an intuitive, and the delicate balance of maintaining professional boundaries with deep empathy

🎙 This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy

Ep 212: Complex Connections: Navigating Feedback with Authenticity

This episode of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast is part of a series where we answer questions submitted by listeners. We dive into the complexities of accountability in all relationships.

Some Takeaways from this Episode:

✨Recurring Themes in Society: Many of the topics addressed in the show are themes that have come up repeatedly within therapeutic spaces, reflecting collective societal trends and healing journeys indicating a widespread desire to evolve past self-abandonment and the cultivation of healthier relationships

✨Staying Authentic: The importance of staying true to your beliefs and message, even when it may not resonate with everyone, to remain authentic to Self

✨ Personal Accountability: Consider how you may be self-abandoning or using relationships as a means to avoid addressing something you may need to work through, and how deeper self-examination will naturally lead to more authentic relationships

✨Complexity and Nuance in Human Behavior: Not simplifying complex human behaviors into labels (like narcissist), and instead take a compassionate and curious approach to understanding others’ actions, promoting dialogue that embraces the full complexity of human experiences and interactions
