From Couch to Table with Ryann Mallonee

Some new stuff from Brené Brown just in time for these new adjustments. Below is her newest blog article, which talks about the challenges of all these changes- with some practical advice. Also, her new podcast launched Friday. Perfect timing as we might be ready for some new material as we’re staying home. And Tonight... at 6 pm... she’ll be live on Instagram for a 15 minute ‘Church’. I’ll see ya there!

These are anxious times. I hope you are well, taking care of yourselves, and finding a way to connect with people you love. If you are a healthcare worker, social worker, counselor, first responder, store employee, food delivery person, or anyone out there on the frontlines: Thank you. You are our h...

We have never had so much time! I’m amazed by the lack of pressure that comes with that. Ritually, each member of my family asks me every morning: what do we have tonight? Usually 2-3 activities make the list. They keep asking out of habit, and my answer: We have nothing. We have nothing planned for... ever?! It really is so freeing. So... how are you going to spend your free time in the next weeks?

Let me clarify... I’m noticing that as I speak, my thoughts are often three thoughts ahead, which ends up skipping some really important pieces. So, let me add... there’s been almost a frantic energy around all tasks lately. I think that’s why I felt some relief when I realized the upside of having more time. It was a complete perspective/ mindset switch. Yet, I absolutely recognize the other side of the coin and am living in that space of concern and overwhelm for myself and those around me much more than I’m ‘enjoying the time’. Trying to give myself permission for this when possible.

If there was an article that could articulate the power of therapy, the reason I became a therapist, the possibility and the honor it is to do this work, this is it. I LOVE all of this. ❤️

Weaving together Buddhist philosophy and storytelling, clinical psychologist and spiritual teacher Jack Kornfield explored the nature of therapeutic transformation by evoking the core elements of psychological healing—being witnessed and loved.

What three holiday memories do you want to create this season? I love focusing on making memories rather than all there is to do! Tell me yours!

This is me rolling out new groups last week. I’m telling you... I have so much fun creating this stuff. And I love the way this group work helps women ‘reself’ themselves after the calls of life help them lose their voice. I use Brené Browns curriculums, then add at home work. All I know is that I love it all. 😍

I MEAN this: su***de proof your homes for your adolescents! Highest predictor of su***de: gun in home. Access to pills in home. So, we lock cabinets for toddlers, let’s lock all but a weeks worth Tylenol/ pills for our teens too. For real: this is the difference. Access to means.

I love it when research overlaps. Two inspiring thought leaders in therapy share this perspective on heartbreak. “Better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.”
