Do Therapists Believe in Self-Care? | Insights & Actions
<p>Self-care has become one of those terms that can mean everything and nothing. We decided to actually examine it. In this episode, Matt, Johnny, and Craig do question it — where the concept came from, how it got commercialized, why it sometimes shames people more than it helps them, and what might actually be more useful: structure, honesty, and human connection.We dig into the real history of self-care (it's more interesting than you'd expect), why "mental health days" can be problematic, the difference between rigidity and flexibility, and why Craig wants to bring back pagers.Matt Christian, Dr. Johnny Pierce, and Craig James are licensed mental health clinicians at Insight Into Action Therapy in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.Subscribe to Insights & Actions for new episodes.Websites:Insight Into Action Therapy: https://insightintoaction.comInsight Recovery Centers: https://insightrecoverycenters.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insightbehavioralcentersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsightBehavioralCentersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/insight-centersOffices in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.</p>

Tips for how to respond to uncertainty, disillusionment, and anxiety. Discussions on collective defense mechanisms, surprising research, parenting, exposure therapy, race, danger, helplessness, and more! </p><p><br></p><p>The Insights & Actions podcast takes you behind the scenes with practicing therapists to hear what they're talking about when out of session.</p><p><br></p><p>Insights & Actions is for educational and entertainment purposes and is not a substitute for working directly with a mental health or medical professional.</p><p><br></p><p>Insight Into Action Therapy is an award winning mental health and substance use disorder outpatient treatment practice in Loudoun County, Virginia offering mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and couples, addiction treatment, psychological testing, and medication management. </p><p><br></p><p>insightactiontherapy.com</p>

Men's experience in therapy (Where have all the male therapists gone?)
<p>Only 26% of men in therapy say they want to be understood. That stat stopped us in our tracks. Three male therapists react to a Wall Street Journal article about the state of men in therapy — and share what we see from the other side of the couch. We talk about the history of gender bias in psychology, how it shows up in couples therapy, what healing looks like outside the office, and what it's actually like being a male therapist in a female-dominated field.The Insights & Actions podcast takes you behind the scenes with practicing therapists to hear what they're talking about when out of session. Insights & Actions is for educational and entertainment purposes and is not a substitute for working directly with a mental health or medical professional.
