Losing things, losing friends -- it's all in this therapy session. Join Jen as she loses socks, a wedding ring, and a best friend but maybe (hopefully) gains some clarity.
It's Fall, y'all, and all that. In other words, 'tis the season of DEATH. Grab a pumpkin spice latte, and join Jen as she takes a different perspective on death in this light episode.
Jen tackles regret in this episode. But instead of beating it up, she ... gives it a hug? Strange times, indeed. Join her.
Alternate title: Fruit, THE HORROR! As you start layering up when the air gets crisp, may you be reminded that we're all made of of life layers -- and we're getting between them on this episode. Join Jen as she evaluates where she has been, where she is now, and the absolute horror of offering fruit before a meal in Spain.
Rebel! Rebel! Rebel! On this episode, Jen is MAD. Join her. Don't become a rule-following robot.
Alternate title: "find work INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH GRIEF." Join Jen as she asks herself if she anesthetizes herself through work and staying busy so she doesn't have to feel grief. Yikes.
"As small as a world and as large as alone" -- contradictions are the name of the game in this therapy session, along with the horrible thing chasing Jen, of course. Join her as she muddles her way through confusion, runs away, and jumps in the sea.
The ripeness of an apple is its downfall, but is that true of me, too? On this episode, be a fly on the wall for Jen's therapy session where she explores ambition, accomplishments, and ambiguity while being surrounded by voices yelling, "NOW WHAT?"
Snakes shedding, peeling bananas, and cursing God -- these are just a few issues Jen talks about in her therapy session this week.
Anyone else still traumatized from middle school? That trauma and more on this episode of My Therapist Is a Poem. Join Jen as she knows she doesn't know anything, but tries to know anyway -- this time from the words of Mary Oliver.
"I Don't Want To Be Demure or Respectable," Mary Oliver
So you wanna know what my podcast is about… In My Therapist Is a Poem, I, Jen, will be having therapy sessions — with poetry. We don’t give enough credit to poetry for opening doors to life experience and asking questions that no one else — not even a licensed therapist — might think to ask. Every episode will feature a poem-as-therapist, but no session will be the same. So, are we ready to begin? Great! "The poem will see you now."
