Neuropsychology and Testing Ft. Dr. Brandi Boan

Therapy with my Mom

07/20/23 • 65 min

In this episode, Ryan tries to get himself a diagnosis for ADD!
We have the incredibly intelligent Dr. Brandi Boan with us today, talking about what it means to be a neuropsychologist and the kind of work and tests that she conducts. Brandi also discusses the unique perspective of being a prescribing psychologist, one of less than 20 in her state!
We discuss neurological conditions such as dementia and how we try to treat it, and Ryan asks for a professional opinion on if he ever should have gotten labeled with Attention Deficit Disorder. It's a super educational episode and we hope you enjoy it!

Therapeutic Humor Ft. Lodge McCammon & Mallori DeSalle

Therapy with my Mom

03/30/23 • 66 min

Did you know that therapy can be funny? Well, at least when you're working with two infectiously hilarious people like Lodge McCammon and Mallori DeSalle. Musical educator and mental health counselor duo, Lodge and Mallori, teach us all about how humor can find its way into our mental health and help us take mini "vacations." Through a variety of exercises and examples, Ryan and Julee are shown how imagining the most absurd possibilities helps us to find windows into relief from our frustrations.
This is an especially funny episode (who would have guessed it?) so prepare to have some chuckles as the group bonds over the silliness and plays a variety of games. It's therapy with a group!

Communication and Conflict Resolution

Therapy with my Mom

09/14/23 • 69 min

It's back to just your favorites! Julee and Ryan are here this week to discuss their perspectives on communication and conflict resolution.
Julee and Ryan share their personal stories and what they've learned to ask for when engaging in conflict. They go over many different rules and strategies in how to manage your own emotions while still playing on the team of your partner. In this episode, you'll get to hear Julee talk about how she personally manages conflict with her husband, how there can be a push-and-pull effect between the partners, why we should discuss our expectations to avoid misunderstandings, and the common hang-up of people grieving that a conflict even had to happen!
Ryan also gives a fun scenario at the end for Julee to decide how she wants to resolve, and we leave the episode looking at ways we can examine ourselves and continue to grow.

Need a guide on how to deal with the immature people in your life? Thank goodness we have Lindsay Gibson with us today!
Lindsay is a clinical psychologist and well-published author with a lot of advice on how to deal with the immature parents and people that we might be stuck with. We cover a whole lot in this episode, discussing how the media seems to elevate immature personalities more, how to handle those who don't treat us how we want to be treated, and what happens to us when these people make the interaction all about them.
Ryan also shares a memory of a time his mom handled something very maturely.
Check out Lindsay's website and look to get her new book, "Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People."

Therapy with my Mom

It's rare in this day and age to hear about healthcare that truly cares, but that is what you'll find at Waterford Place in Aurora, IL. A haven for patients and families fighting cancer, Waterford Place is an institution that our very own Thomas Barkauskas worked with extensively. We have the pleasure of talking to Omar Ramos on this episode, the Program Development and Operations Manager, about his journey to this special place and what it does for families in need.
Omar has the unique and special journey of starting at Rush Copley Hospital at the age of 16. After working in food service and then the financial aid department, he now has the pleasure of focusing on the good work of helping these families. We discuss his journey, our own family's history with cancer, and what all of these resources mean to the community.

How Do We Manage? Ft. Ryan's Boss, Jennifer Menendez

It's Therapy with my Mom and another person from Ryan's world! This week we have the pleasure of talking to Jennifer Menendez, Manager of The Post climbing gym, Ryan's second home, and his part-time job. Jennifer has been working in and managing gyms for years and has developed her leadership methods based on her life experience and years of trial and error.
Fresh off of a summit on gym leadership, Jennifer has some opinions on how she can better lead her team and the culture that she wants to foster. We get into the pressures that come with being the boss and communication styles that might need to be adjusted based on how others are receiving our messages.
