Today, I’m speaking with therapist and author Aundi Kolber. This conversation is a rich exploration of how to start small in finding a therapist, how to care for ourselves when we’re disappointed (like when we think a pandemic is going to be over and it does the opposite), and how the brain works under stress.Helpful Companion LinksLearn more about Aundi’s work on her website and follow her on Instagram @aundikolberGet her book Try Softer and grab the Try Softer Guided Journey (releases October 5th)If you want more resources from Aundi, check out her free companion video series for the Try Softer Guided Journey.To find a therapist, go to psychologytoday.com and use their filter system to name what matters most about your therapist or to emdria.org for therapists who specialize in EMDR. Aundi recommends choosing three therapists you're interested in and requesting a free 20-minute consultation to see if it's a good fit. Most therapists offer this. If finances are a hindrance, ask therapists if they have a sliding scale. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
