Community Routes
This is a podcast filled with therapists, psychologists, authors, and regular people where we talk about mental and emotional health. We take complex topics and break them down, often over snacks and coffee. Our goal is to provide free, digestible mental health discussions to help build a more healthy, supportive community. Join Samuel, Sarah, and Julie every other week on Tuesdays (or whenever you feel like listening)! Our segments: “Off the Beaten Path” is a special episode that features interviews with the community. ”Unpack That” involves discussing books and concepts about mental health. ”Trail Mix” takes a variety of concepts that are asked to the cohosts and discussed as a group. ”Deep Breath” is a shorter, brief mental message for the week.

This week the whole gang is here! Last week we talked about crisis, but this week we dive into how to respond to crisis. Sarah tells some personal tales of where crisis can show up in our daily life. We share insight from Lisa Dion that regulation does not have to mean calm. Regulation is being aware, grounded, mindful and connected. We can meet our crisis with this presence of showing up in our whole self.
