Description

Let’s talk self-care and mental health. Kristen Howerton, writer and psychotherapist, is joined by her longtime pal Matthias Roberts, psychotherapist, side-eye aficionado, and dog dad, as they tackle the tricky and often elusive aspects of caring for ourselves. Their weekly conversations explore questions like: Can self-care be for everyone? How do I get enough sleep? What aspects of my personality make self-care tricky? And what’s in this face mask? From the silly to the serious, Kristen and Matthias are taking a vulnerable and often humorous look at body, mind and spirit . . . all while looking at the distractions and defenses that keep us from caring for ourselves like we should. Like that 6pm deadline butting up against 6:30pm soccer practice.

Thinking We are not void of feeling more that we are the strict planners and the risk assessors. Instead of worrying about feelings (which care about just don't focus on it), we are the one's that say hey it's sweet that the kids are playing but if we don't move we will miss the dentist and won't get another for a week if we are late. At a meeting we will say the things that others can't so it gets it in the open. Some might "think" we are unfeeling but it's untrue we think for everyone's care and wellbeing but in a more matter of fact. Lastly thinking types can fail in self care as we are planning and "thinking" about everyone else in our lifes that we think our needs are a bottom priority.
