Hey! Come on in! My name is Megan Garcia and I'll be your main host for the duration of this podcast. I am a board-certified licensed therapist in the northwest suburbs of Sweet Home Chicago!So why the Orange Couch? Well, it's more of an ode to my love of a particular t.v. series that followed the lives of six close pals who reside in New York. Can that BE anymore of a hint? I took the couch concept because I'm actually a licensed therapist whose office holds a couch and some chairs so my clients are comfortable spilling their tea. Also, It just so happens that the color orange has many meanings in different cultures and one of my favorite meanings describes orange as a color representing transformation.In therapy, there is lots of transformation. One of my many hopes as you listen to this podcast is that it brings you transformation. Positive transformation. With that being said, let's get started. Get your tea, coffee, lemonade, or whatever it is you like to drink!
WARNING: POOR EXAMPLE OF A SOUTHERN DRAWL DUE TO MY RECENT INFLUENCES AS OF LATE-What's your influence? What's influencing your thoughts? If you're telling yourself not-so-nice things you're going to believe those not-so-nice things. Why do you tell yourself the negative things? Why are you so quick to accept the negative instead of the positives? Staaaap. Just Staaaaap. Start changing your wiring in your mind and start immersing yourself in positive things. Start telling yourself you'r...

The one with Addiction to Illness
I love this topic so much. Addiction to your illness is definitely a "thing". Being addicted to your illness (mental health in this case) is something we're all probably doing. Hey-we're trying our best... cut us some slack! You've heard the story.... you grew up with anxiety or developed it along the way from an intense experience and learned to cope with it by finding a different way to function and it has worked for you but now it's created more dysfunction because you have gained somethin...

The one with Sleep.
****yaaaaaawwwwnnnnn***** Good morning! How'd you sleep? Still feeling exhausted in the mornings (or whenever you wake up to start your day)? Maybe you need a nighttime routine to have better sleep hygiene. In this epi, I talk about the cycles of sleep and why going through the stages of sleep is SO important. I discuss some of the habits or things that could be interfering with a good night's sleep too... you know that glass of wine or beer you drink before going to bed??.....I know! I'm sor...

The one with the Pedestal
This epi talks about putting someone, something, a method of doing things on a pretty pedestal. The one that sits high and you look to it for the answers. As you take a seat on the Orange Couch, maybe the discussion will start to generate ideas on how you can deconstruct those pedestals. NO ONE NO METHOD should be on a pedestal. There's a difference between admiration and putting someone or something on a pedestal. It's fine to admire.... think highly of someone or something but it should nev...

The one with winter blues.
This is the debut episode of Orange Couch Therapy! In this episode, I discuss a little bit about myself and how Orange Couch Therapy started. Producing a podcast has been on my heart and mind for a little while now and I've decided to just go for it. I have no experience with podcasts but I do know I wanted to do it and have discussions with everyone related to being a human being on this earth. After I discuss the origins of OCT, I dive right into the winter blues that are felt ...
