Sometimes we can talk about the same experience week after week and still feel as though we are not reaching the deeper place that needs our attention. 

In this episode of the #SoRelatable Podcast, Susan Regan speaks with therapist and brainspotting consultant Meredith Futernick-Gerak, LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LMHC, ACS, about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and the different ways it may be incorporated into therapeutic work.

Together, they demystify the difference between lower-dose psycholytic ketam...

They had been looking forward to the vacation for months.

It was supposed to be a chance to step away from work, school schedules, carpools, deadlines, and the endless responsibilities of daily life. They imagined relaxed mornings, family dinners, and time to reconnect without constantly watching the clock.

Instead, the trip felt tense almost from the beginning.

One parent carried most of the responsibility for packing, planning, and keeping everyone on schedule. The other felt criticized ...

How EMDR, parts work, hypnosis, and compassionate self-awareness can help us understand old wounds, present-day triggers, and performance blocks.

Have you ever had a reaction that felt much bigger than the moment in front of you?

Sometimes the intensity we feel in the present is connected to an experience our mind and body never fully processed. The memory may be old, but the fear, shame, self-doubt, or feeling of not being good enough can still feel very current.

In this episode of the #SoRe...

No one prepares you for the first year after divorce.

People tell you that "it gets better."

They remind you to "stay strong for the kids."

Friends encourage you to keep busy.

But very few people talk about what divorce actually feels like when you're the mother trying to hold everything together.

You're grieving the end of a marriage while making some of the biggest decisions of your life.

You're trying to support your children while your own emotions feel unpredictable.

You're managing ...

Healing becomes less about avoiding pain and more about reconnecting to your wholeness.

There are moments in life that completely shift us.

Grief.
Relationship loss.
Identity transitions.
Trauma that changes how safe we feel in our own bodies.

And often, when people are suffering emotionally, they try to think their way out of pain.

But healing doesn’t always happen through logic alone.

In this powerful conversation, Susan Regan sits down with therapist and psychedelic integration gu...

Have you ever reacted to something in a relationship and later thought:

“Why did I respond like that?”

Maybe you became overwhelmed quickly.
Maybe you shut down.
Maybe you said something you didn’t fully mean.
Or maybe you felt emotionally flooded and couldn’t think clearly in the moment.

One of the most helpful concepts I use with clients is understanding that we don’t always operate from the same “state of mind.”

And when you begin to recognize which state you’re in, your reactions start maki...

The Rise of AI Companions and What It Reveals About Human Connection

“People are not just looking for connection. They are looking for emotional safety.”

A few years ago, the idea that millions of people would turn to artificial intelligence for emotional comfort would have sounded almost absurd. Most people imagined AI as something functional — a tool for work, organization, or information. But over the last year, something much deeper has emerged. People are now using AI companions and c...

There’s a moment that many people experience, but don’t always have language for.

You build a life that feels like it works. Your routines start to settle. Your relationships feel familiar. There’s a sense of stability, maybe even a quiet confidence that you’ve figured something out.

And then, something begins to shift.

It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes it’s subtle at first. A feeling you can’t quite name. A kind of restlessness that shows up in small moments. Conversations that used to fee...

Introduction: Where Boundaries Quietly Break Down in Relationships

There’s a moment in many relationships where something small starts to feel bigger than it should. Plans change, a tone shifts, or a request lands in a way that doesn’t sit quite right. Underneath it, there’s often a quieter awareness—something here doesn’t feel good, but it’s hard to name exactly why.

Most people move past these moments. They tell themselves it’s not a big deal or that they don’t want to overreact. They adjust...
