We hold on to shit and carry it with us even when it is no longer serving us. It can be anger, resentment, hurt, sadness, disappointment or any other emotion. We cling to it until it makes us sick. Sick in our body, sick in our mind and sick in our spirit. Letting go is hard work, it can be difficult to release a situation where we were wronged or where something awful happened. But there is power in the release.
Eckhart Tolle said, “Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.”
Sarah and I talk about this on today's episode. We certainly don't have it all figured out, but we have some tips to share with you (and remind us) to us.
As always Warriors, Stay Wild and Weird.
We love you,
Amy & Sarah

2 years. Wow. 2 years of holding space, tearing down walls, uncensored talk, shining light on the dark shit, and of course, adding the lighthearted fuckery we all need. In this episode, we celebrate our anniversary (late of course, in true Sarah and Amy fashion). We have several past guests give their quick and beautiful messages to us and you all which allows us all to reflect on the vast amount of solidarity that is out there in the mental health space...even when it doesn't feel like it. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support. We raise a glass to all of YOU, and all of our past and future guests. Here is to many, many more years of disrupting the hell out of the mental health space TOGETHER. Stay wild and weird Warriors. We love you.
Xo,
Sarah and Amy

Our favorite spunky psychologist Dr. Katie Stewart is back to help us navigate this weird time of year! The holidays can be wonderful, horrible, stressful, lovely, and tumultuous all at once which makes it very hard to find our way. We talk all things surviving it including prep and pep talks, boundary setting, and exit strategies. Family can be a lot of things and knowing how to wade through holidays with them with grace is a difficult dance. So, sit down with us and talk it out in this bonus episode just in time to add some more tools for the family, grief, tension, and awkward conversation of it all!
As always Warriors, Stay Wild and Weird.
We love you,
Sarah and Amy

Movember is a month to bring awareness to Men’s Health. (Mustaches not required because…well, it’s not for everyone. 😂) We talk with Simon of Mindful Men about his story of mental healing and his mission to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
Did you know that 75% of suicides that are completed are men. Men are far less likely to get help for their mental health. Simon started his movement and shared his story to help break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health. If we are about anything over her at the UT, it is Breaking that Stigma! We are so happy to share with you Simon’s story of healing and creating a space to help others heal their mental health.
Simon has his own podcast, and many other resources that you can find here. Check out his website, social media, and articles he has written while you are there.
As always Warriors, Stay Wild and Weird.
We love you,
Amy & Sarah

On past episodes, we have discussed Bipolar Disorder from the lens of the partner and caregiver. We have also discussed the definition as described by the DSM-5 from the lens of a professional psychologist. For this episode, we get to hear the story and experiences from a person living with Bipolar Disorder.
Mik shares with us her story of mental health from childhood to the present time. She shares her journey through therapists, medications, introspection, and research to bring her to a space of healing.
Learn more about Mik here.
Mik works for Matcha. Matcha "believes in a future where you can be more open with your therapist and doctors. Where you look forward to seeing them because you know and feel that they care about you. Where, no matter what insurance you have, you can find someone very quickly that you can have a lasting relationship with."
We love getting to hear about this company from the perspective of one of their employees.

From the a seat at the bar to a school Budapest, and all American movie theaters in between, smiling can be a spooky sentiment in the right context. Listen in and let us know...which part do you find the scariest? Is it the horror movie? Or your interactions at the bar being told to "smile more?" Let me guess...is it the real life school with smiling contraptions strapped to your face? YIKES. It's all spooky and scary this week with some facts that will make your jaw drop and some that will have you...dare we say it...smiling ear to ear.
TW: Some talk of suicide included in this episode.

Elle’s bravery in showing up as her authentic self in the pageant, her Instagram page, and telling her story across the world through interviews like these, is going to help young girls see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Mental Health has been a mystery since the beginning of time. It is complex and difficult to understand and even more challenging to treat. There have been extreme and terrifying treatments over the years. We share our top 10 in no particular order. We couldn’t bring ourselves to order them because each of them is as disturbing and upsetting as the next.
Luckily we have come a long way in treatment for mental health, but there is always room to do better. The one thing we can do today to make things better for those struggling with mental illness is to understand that it is not scary. So while these treatments of the past are quite scary, the mental illness itself is not.
Stopping the stigma around Mental Health is the most important thing we can do. Talking about it helps to normalize it. So join us in our fight to stop the stigma: share your story, listen to others, and educate yourself to understand the things you don’t know about before making judgments.

This might be our most controversial episode yet!
Dr. Katie Stewart is back on the Pod talking with us about the elusive sleep. Sleep can fix a million issues, but it is so hard to come by. Some of us can’t fall asleep, stay asleep, or even want to go to sleep, but we need to get our 8 hours! Dr. Katie shares with us some tips on how to do just that. They are great ones even though Sarah and I struggle to agree because there are some habits that are really hard to break. We hope you enjoy the episode and find one tip you can add to your tool box.
Do you have a tip or trick to getting enough sleep? Share it with us via email: unqualifiedtherapists@gmail.com OR a voice message at unqualifiedtherapists.com
Have a restful week Warriors, we love you.
