“We have to listen to ourselves”

In this episode, Nick speaks with KaRon Spriggs-Bethea to explore themes of self-expression, the impact of trauma on personal growth, and the importance of listening in therapeutic settings.

What to listen for:

Self-expression can be tied to personal experiences and trauma
Listening is crucial in therapy to understand clients’ needs
Therapists should collaborate with clients rather than just giving advice
Understanding the systems affecting mental health is essential
Self-care involves multiple dimensions, including physical and emotional well-being
Values can change over time and should be reassessed regularly

“Even if you can or cannot open that door, the choice to sometimes isn’t right”

Just because a door is there doesn’t mean it’s the right time—or the right one—to walk through
It’s not about whether you can do something, but whether doing it aligns with your values and goals
Some paths look appealing but aren’t meant to be taken just yet—or ever. Honor your intuition
The right choice isn’t always obvious, but checking in with yourself helps you decide wisely

“What am I feeling around that? Now that I look back at what was going on, what do I feel about that?”

Looking back with curiosity—not judgment—helps reveal what truly mattered in past experiences.
Emotions shift as we grow, giving us fresh perspectives on old situations
Naming emotions helps process them, turning past confusion into present clarity
Your feelings are data, not directives. They offer insight, but you get to choose how to respond to them moving forward.
