It’s Not Therapy! with Liana Kerzner Feeling stuck, unmotivated, anxious, frustrated, or just plain ‘blah’? With mental health services stretched beyond capacity, and people experiencing historical levels of isolation, it’s time for an innovative strategy for overcoming everyday problems. It’s Not Therapy! is that strategy - a radio, streaming, and podcast show that offers life skills supports for busy people! It’s Not Therapy! Is hosted by Liana Kerzner, a professional communicator who offers a friendly ear and solutions that can bring swift, positive results. And because these are skills everyone can use, both solution-seekers and listeners benefit! How exactly does this work?

The topics It’s Not Therapy! covers include: •The positives of “negativity” •The problem with “normal” •Healthy sexuality •What anxiety is telling you •Modern dating sucks •Masculinity, femininity, and individuality •Anger is okay •I love my family and they’re driving me crazy! •They’re a great friend, but… •What it’s like to have autism •Do we overuse the term “addiction”? •Is social media making you antisocial? •Being depressed vs having depression •I love my job. I hate my coworkers. •How to make positive mistakes •What your fantasies are really telling you •When empathy hurts Of course, the questions don’t have to match the topic. Anything goes! Liana will empathize, validate, and offer solutions to people’s problems with self-compassion exercises, achievable goal setting, self-care, and personal boundary setting, and give them tools they can apply immediately.

   It's Not Therapy - Epi 190 - Understanding Consent

   The alleged sexual assault incident at Cornell University, and how poorly it was handled, has again raised discussion of consent to prominence. But consent isn't a concept limited to sexual situations; it governs all our relationships, personal and professional, and narrowing the focus leaves us with a lack of understanding of our power in social situations. Liana talks about where consent applies, how our concept of consent is shaped and how understanding these things can remove a lot of errors and anxiety from social interactions.

   It's Not Therapy - Epi 189 - Change, Loss, The Unknown and Wolverine

   Change, loss and the unknown - three primal fears that our present reality pokes and prods on a daily basis. Liana presents her lifelong experiences with video games as a framework for facing change, loss and the unknown in our own lives, because we can't just hack and slash our way through life like Wolverine (though doing so in the new video game can be very cathartic).

   It's Not Therapy - Epi 188 - Politics & Our Mental Health

   We live in loud times. Opinions, especially about politics, are not spoken, they are shouted, at volumes that keep increasing as each side tries to out-shout the other. All that noise wears on our ability to keep a sense of inner-calm, especially when friends, relatives and co-workers are among those doing the yelling, sometimes at us. Liana offers 4 strategies for finding and maintaining your emotional equilibrium in a world that makes that increasingly difficult.
