What Your Therapist Thinks

Dr. Rebeccah Lyle, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, joins Kristie and Felicia to explore the nuanced reality of ADHD in women and AFAB individuals. Together, they break down how social expectations of "good behavior" sometimes mask ADHD symptoms in girls, leading to life-changing diagnoses in adulthood when the pressures of career and motherhood reach a breaking point.
Some takeaways:
Reframing neurological differences as strengths
Understanding the psychological toll of masking and how it inevitably leads to burnout
Shifting the narrative from self-blame for a "lack of discipline" to advocating for systemic accommodations and self-compassion

Welcome to Season 2 of What Your Therapist Thinks. We were absolutely mind-blown by all the love we got from you in season 1 and so after some life changes like Kristie having a baby… we’re back!
A mental health show where actual, licensed therapists open up about what they’re really thinking, while answering the internet’s most burning mental health questions. And by "real-world," we mean Reddit posts. Incognito Google searches. And the stuff you think about bringing up in therapy… but maybe don’t. Each week, you’ll hear from expert therapists to break it all down: from dating advice and body dysmorphia to ADHD and EMDR therapy.
First episode drops February 25.

Some takeaways:
The "Sensitive Kid to Therapist" pipeline and why high-achievers often hide their pain
Why healing happens both inside and outside the therapy room through somatics and community
The power of self-forgiveness and the freedom to change your mind and your life

In this special holiday episode, Katrina Mautner, a queer trauma-informed therapist, joins Kristie and Felicia to talk everything on setting boundaries with family. Drawing from Katrina’s anti-oppressive and harm reduction framework, they break down boundaries as a tool for connection—defining them as the distance at which you can love both yourself and the other person.
Some takeaways:
How boundaries actually allow us to deepen relationships and say "yes" more freely
Surviving difficult moments with "strategic avoidance" and internal boundaries
Applying a harm reduction lens to deescalate family conflict, even imperfectly

Shelly Qualter, an expert counselor, joins Kristie and Felicia to talk everything on performance anxiety. Drawing from Shelly’s experience as an expert counselor, they break down performance anxiety as a fear-based emotion arising from uncertainty, feeling threatened, or being out of control.
Some takeaways:
The difference between helpful "nervous energy" and debilitating panic
How externalizing anxiety (like giving it a name) fosters control and self-compassion
Distinguishing between fact-based worry and baseless "what if" worries
