Empathetically Apathetic

Madeleine and Rachel
Empathetically Apathetic is a podcast hosted by two therapists who care a lot and not at all. Madeleine and Rachel are sisters who talk about a range of topics from mental health to social justice to death and dying. Yes, they are both really mental health therapists. No, this is not therapy. But listen in, and you might find something therapeutic about it!

Session 18: Did You Eat?
[CW: Disordered eating.] Love languages, shmub languages, it’s all about the grub languages! We’re talking about the ways in which food transcends love languages and cultures.

Episode 17: BDE Big Denial Energy
We’re all in denial about something. And hey, it’s fine! Or, is it? This session we explore the varying levels of denial, including when it’s definitely not okay and when maybe it could be! [Note: Our quick search concluded that the term, "cliffhanger" was popularized by the 1914 movie, "The Perils of Pauline," in which the audience was left in anticipation when two of the main characters were trying to escape a dangerous situation via a cliff.

What does it mean when someone's asking for patience? What does it say when someone doesn't have as much access to patience?
