The Therapy Sisters: Recent Episodes
Therapy Sisters
Welcome! We are Rachel and Charis, sisters and licensed clinical therapists with over thirty years of combined experience. In our personal and professional experiences we have learned how much we all have in common as women inhabiting this earth, and how often we struggle in silence and isolation. We invite you to come along with us as we come home to ourselves--engaging in the deconstruction of who we were told we were–be it because of traumas or familial or cultural messaging–and growing into the reconstruction of who we are truly meant to be. Look for new episodes every Tuesday.
The Therapy Sisters welcome back Jessica Downs, certified EMDR therapist, trainer, and ego states extraordinaire. Jessica talks candidly about growing up in the Mormon church, what parts of herself those experiences shaped and how parts are impacted in cases of spiritual wounds and trauma. Jessica is a warm and brilliant voice and The Therapy Sisters are so excited to have her back on the show!
In today’s episode The Therapy Sisters explore the idea that often is internalized among those who grew up in religious communities that, whenever something goes wrong, it must be your fault. Struggle with depression? Pray more! Life hands you something challenging? Must be because you’re not doing enough. Or the right thing. It’s exhausting and it isn’t true. Listen as they share their experiences around this, how they see this play out in the lives of their clients, and what you can do to help address this narrative in your own life.
In this episode The Therapy Sisters discuss the message that something is wrong with you just by merit of your birth and the way in which people, women in particular, grow up to internalize this message.
Welcome! We're so glad you're here. Grab a cup of coffee (or your drink of choice) and join the Therapy Sisters as they sit down with Cassie Krajewski, LCSW. Cassie is an LCSW based in Denver, CO where she runs her private practice, Inner Atlas Therapy. She uses EMDR Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy to treat complex trauma, disordered eating and body image, and sex and relationships. Cassie is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and a senior faculty member at Kase and CO, an EMDR training business where she offers an EMDR and Disordered Eating course for therapists.In this episode, Cassie shares her own story of growing up in purity culture, how that shaped her, particularly in relationship to her own body, and what she sees in clinical practice around purity culture, sex, and body image. This is an amazing conversation and Cassie brings so much wisdom, experience, and insight to this discussion. Books referenced today: On Our Best Behavior by Elise LoehnenCome As You Are by Emily Nagoski, PhDTo get more information about Cassie's work you can find her here. And stay tuned for her podcast, Taking Up Space, which releases in May, where she will explore these topics in further depth.

Hello, and welcome back to The Therapy Sisters Podcast!
In today's episode, The Therapy Sisters discuss purity culture and some of the inherent messages young women internalized about their bodies as a result, including:
-Where shame about the body starts
-How the messaging within purity culture impacts the mind/body/emotion connection
-The "light switch effect" when women get married.
-How consent factors in
-How women's sexuality is largely left out of the conversation
-How young girls who grew up within purity culture are made responsible for the thoughts/actions/desires of men and how that plays out into their future sexual lives and relationships with their own bodies.
....and more!

Kelly continues to be in worship ministry to this day and is really focused on how she shows up in the world in a loving and authentic way.

**A quick note: We had some challenges with the audio there at the end so this episode ends abruptly. It does end where the conversation wrapped up, but we understand it may feel sudden and wanted to give a heads up. Still, it doesn’t not detract from Jaymie’s inspiring message.
The Therapy Sisters welcome back friend and fellow clinician, Jaymie Bush. She shares her story of coming up in a legalistic and conservative religious environment, how she internalized narratives about her body and emotions and how she has reclaimed those in adulthood. Jaymie also shares how this impacts her clinical work with women who are on a similar path. Next week we will welcome another story as we continue to elevate women's voices and empower them toward reclamation of their stories. Want to connect? Us too!

What if we can't fit ourselves into a box? What then? The Therapy Sisters discuss this and more.

Happy New from the Therapy Sisters! After a short break we are back! In this episode we review our first year of podcasting, share some struggles and triumphs and discuss some focuses for 2024.
Today is a minisode and Charis walks us through how to use the DEAR MAN tool from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to approach conversations where you need to assertively ask for something or say no to something.
Deciding on a boundary is one thing. Communicating it is quite another. It can be challenging to know how to broach these conversations, but this tool provides a helpful framework from which to do so.

She's a natural problem solver who would defend and protect those who cannot do it for themselves. Injustices and lies are her triggers.

Today we kick off our summer minisode series! This will be a two part series spanning the months of July and August. In July we’re going to take turns discussing how to foster curiosity in our lives. In August we’re going to discuss self-compassion. Both of these are absolute values to the Therapy Sisters, both in life and in our clinical practices.
This two-part series will look a little different. We’ll still release an episode on Tuesdays, but it will be a short minisode with some teaching and a specific focus. On Thursdays we’ll provide some kind of practice to help you build your curiosity and/or practice self-compassion. The Thursday exercises will coincide with the Tuesday minisodes. We hope this will be a fun, bite-sized valuable couple of months!
We’re kicking off today by defining what curiosity is and how it’s the antidote to self-judgment. Take a listen and don’t forget to return on Thursday for your guided practice!

- We (Rachel and Charis) share our personal experiences growing up in the same family and some of the narratives and beliefs we formed.
