Chrysalis on the Couch

Ep. 50 - REALITY TV: THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY

Episode 50: Reality TV: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly This episode of Chrysalis on the Couch came as a follow-up to the episode discussing TV Shows that grow social awareness. This time, we talk about Reality TV. With the upcoming return of Big Brother, the group decided to look back at the beginnings of Reality TV and see how far we’ve come since it started. There are a lot of wonderful shows out there, with a tendency to bring us closer to each other and grow understanding, and then there are some that miss the mark a bit. What do you think of Reality TV? Are there shows that you love or can’t stand?

Ep. 49 - RACE: HOW THERAPY CAN HELP PROCESS EXPERIENCES OF RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION

Episode 49: Race: How Therapy Can Help Process Experiences of Racism and Discrimination On this episode of Chrysalis on the Couch, Chrysalis Tutor Daniel Browne leads the group in a discussion on experiences of racism and discrimination, and how counselling can be helpful in processing through these experiences. What backgrounds are people bringing into the therapy room that counsellors might need to understand as they help their clients? Is there a history of hyper-vigilance? Is there generational trauma that’s been passed down? Trauma from racism and discrimination might present differently in each person experiencing them.

Ep 47 - TV PROGRAMMES THAT GROW SOCIAL AWARENESS

Episode 47: TV Programmes That Grow Social Awareness This week we take a moment to reflect on TV programmes that have made an impact on our own awareness of social and societal issues. We look at television programs from the UK and the US that have taught us about LGBTQ+ rights and taught us about Neuro-diversity in our friends and family and how to support the people in our lives who might be affected. The group also discusses the possible negative aspects and trends of reality television, and the dangers that can come from such programmes. What TV programs stick out to you that have impacted your understanding and awareness of issues faced by people in our society?

Ep 46: LOOKING AT OUR SHADOW

Episode 46: Looking at Our Shadow This week we’re talking about our ‘shadow side”… what does that mean? We all have it, but we are sometimes oblivious to it, or do not see it. It’s the part of ourselves that we don’t much like. We all have negative traits, but if they’re not causing a problem, we oftentimes ignore them. When it is good for us to stop, acknowledge, and accept these traits about ourselves? When is it our responsibility to address these issues, even if we can’t see that they are causing a problem? Join Kay and the rest of the group for this discussion!
