On this episode of "With That Being Said", Esther and Erica discuss the times when technology is actually getting in the way of our relationships with others. Don't worry, this isn't like a lecture from your mom about how your cellphone is going to kill you. Esther and Erica take the stance that in general technology can assist relationships, but the problem is when technology is used to avoid all awkward and uncomfortable conversations. With more and more people struggling with feeling lonely, the answer (shockingly) may actually be more human interaction - even when the conversations are uncomfortable. Listen and laugh as Esther and Erica share their thoughts on some of the new technology that is impeding social skills.

On this episode of "With That Being Said", Esther and Erica share their "unpopular" opinion about forgiveness. They dive into the complexities of forgiveness, from the strict dictionary definition definition, to why there seems to be so much value placed on forgiveness. Esther and Erica make the case that forgiveness is a process, and not a destination and sometimes it's choosing between what takes more energy: to hate or to forgive.

RLW {Read Listen Watch}:This American Life was Erica's RLW for today and while the entire podcast is wonderful we are particularly sharing episode #567. A powerful, disturbing, and incredibly insightful glimpse at what it's like inside of an abusive relationship. The statistics related to abusive relationships, including among teens, is frightening but as we discussed with Minaa, the first step to making changes is understanding what the real struggle is. And as a special bonus... I also have a RLW today! The Pocket Therapist by Therese Borchard is one of my favorite books to give and read. Every chapter is short but packed with the best of the best advice she's gotten from varied experiences in therapy. Perfect when you are having a rough day, whether you're in therapy or not.
THERAPIST PROBLEMS:Today we talked about our real and perceived duty to be ambassadors for therapists everywhere. One of the biggest obstacles for many people who are hesitant to try therapy is the misconceptions of who and what therapists are like. Listen in as we discuss how we work to find balance between being a non-judgmental listening ear and maintaining good boundaries.
