Awareness 1: I feel very nervous asking a question on the radio because I stutter; I can speak easily with family, but with strangers it’s an ongoing struggle— I want to create an awareness to not let your disability hold you back.

Question 2: Feedback to a caller about IFS journaling: she shared that she started at a very low place about two years ago and has seen growth; Q: I see progress in the children I teach because of my effort and less about their motivation, so why does my therapist say that I deserve the credit for my own growth in therapy?

Question 3: Over the past four years I’ve had four different therapists and haven’t felt a strong connection or that they bring out the best in me; I now have a life coach I really like—should I continue trying with a therapist or stick with the life coach?

Question 4: I was told that an ASD diagnosis is not from the DSM—is that accurate?

Question 5: I stopped seeing my therapist about 4.5 years ago, but I still feel like I haven’t fully moved on and often think about how much I miss her—is this normal, and how can I move forward?

Question 1: How do you deal with being bullied, or if a child is being bullied?

Question 2: I am trying to understand the process of transference therapy; it is very difficult, and I am having a hard time with it.

Positive Feedback 3: This program has changed my life—I now understand people better, even those I previously struggled to get along with.

Question 4: I am a retired bubby, and due to health issues I cannot make Pesach in my own home. I will be going to my children, but I am taking it very hard and feel like an extra. How can I still feel happy?

Question 4B: When my children and grandchildren follow minhagim that are different from mine, I am sometimes able to stay quiet, but at other times I speak up and it ends up bothering both them and me—how should I handle this?

Question 5: How can I support a frum relative of the opposite gender who is going through a difficult time?

Question 6: I asked a rov a question and feel uneasy with the answer—how can I process that?

Question 1 – In IFS, does the process always require tuning into bodily sensations?

Question 2 – How would you explain vulnerability, and how can a person learn to express it?

Question 3 – Last year before Pesach, MW mentioned the three F’s—fight, flight, and freeze. How might those responses show up during the stress of Pesach cleaning?

Question 4 – Many people say it is healthy to be vulnerable and share openly. Why is that encouraged instead of keeping things private?

Comment 5 – I believe it is very important to share with others and not keep everything inside. I also want to share that I was in an IOP, and in my experience it seemed designed more for people who are relatively healthy.
