The Coach and The Therapist

Vanessa & Jacob Christenson

The Coach and The Therapist podcast is built to discuss solutions to life’s problems from two different, though related, perspectives. Each week we pick a topic, such as anxiety, depression, or weight loss, and offer our views based on our training, background, and experience. While those views may be different, commonalities are highlighted, and practical suggestions are offered for those who want to improve themselves and seek sustainable life enjoyment.

Listen in to learn the why, the what, and the how of changing your outlook on your responsibilities.

Clean Pain vs. Dirty Pain

All humans experience pain, but the question to ask yourself is this: Is this clean or dirty pain? What does this mean? Dirty pain is the narrative that we create to avoid, resist, or react to an emotion. Also known as unnecessary pain that we bring onto ourselves. Clean pain is the factual circumstance. Things can hurt, that is life. So, how do you keep your pain CLEAN? Listen and find out.
