Why Did We Start a Mental Health Podcast? Felicia & Kristie’s Origin Story

In this special episode, hosts Kristie Plantinga and Felicia Keller Boyle share their own mental health journeys and what led them to create "What Your Therapist Thinks". Drawing from Felicia’s professional background as a somatic therapist and Kristie’s lived experience as a long-time therapy goer, they discuss navigating chronic illness, childhood isolation, the "good kid" trap and why breaking the stigma of silence is the first step toward true healing.

Some takeaways:

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