As we go on, we remember, all the times we, had together...Vitamin C aside, this is our last episode! The gals discuss life - future and current, reminisce on some pod episodes, and overall just yap it up. Enjoy this oversized episode - we have loved making this show with you all - it has been an honor to build our little anklet community and we know each of you is going to change the world. So remember, be kind to yourself, build your community, and be brave - because The Bar is Ankle High. Love, Garet & Katie

This week Katie & Garet are joined by Katy Ralineau - a Texas-based therapist specializing in EMDR, ADHD, and PTSD therapeutic interventions for her patients. The gals have a long yap sesh about chickens, guinea hens (not the same as guinea pigs), and all types of weasels, plus you know, therapy stuff. After Katy departs, Katie & Garet drop some HUGE NEWS on the show - so make sure you listen to the whole episode!If you want to check out Katy's online presence, you can find her on IG and Threads @havoc.and.healing or head over to her website https://www.havocandhealing.org/Remember to be kind to yourself, because the bar is ankle high!

This week the gals spend a lot of time venting about the state of things - which, yes, was six weeks ago when we recorded this but remarkably - not much has changed! Can you believe it? Anyway, after letting our cups runneth over with feminine rage we dive into an article Garet found about standardized testing and ADHD. What was your experience with standardized testing in school? How would you change things if you were in charge? Let us know in the comments, because the bar is ankle high.

How is it we're still stuck with the same ole - same ole for ADHD meds? Well, good news - this July, ADHDers in the US might have access to a new medication that not only helps with ADHD, but can also help with common comorbid conditions - Anxiety and Depression. Tune in to hear about this new medication, Garet's new guinea hen (and baby?) adventures, and Katie's frustration with car shopping, because the bar is ankle high.

Have you ever wondered if people do group therapy for things like ADHD? Well wonder no more because it turns out, as Garet tells us - ABSOLUTELY but we have to make a game out of it because of COURSE we do. This week Garet tells us how Dungeons and Dragons is being used as a therapeutic tool - do you think it would work for you?

What is it about trash TV and our favorite "comfort shows" that keeps us coming back for more? Even though we recorded this episode in the first week of February, it has become even more relevant in the weeks since then - which, probably isn't a great sign, overall...Anyway, this week the gals dive into the brain science behind our comfort shows and why it's actually a good thing you know every line in Schitts Creek by heart!

Give us a break, we recorded this in early February and we were struggling through the annual Frigid Freakout. We also review the different ADHD struggles and habits we've been indulging in before getting into this week's topic - how your native language shapes the neural pathways your brain creates, and what that can mean for your adaptability later in life. In a recent study comparing the brains of German-language native speakers with Arabic-language native speakers, scientists found significant differences. What could this mean for understanding how our brains work?

Strap in because this week we learn about the time Katie cried in therapy and what caused it. It's called IFS - Internal Family Systems, and is a therapeutic method originally developed to help patients dealing with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder), but there has also been clinical success in treating folks with PTSD and unresolved childhood trauma. Do you think it would work for you? You might as well try it, because the Bar is Ankle High.

This week the gals dive into new research that is identifying autism spectrum disorder subtypes - and just a reminder - Katie called it during our first episodes that one day, ADHD will be considered part of ASD. The prophecy is coming true! In addition to some more fun facts about Katie's wedding and life updates, we get into what this new research can mean for those of us in the neurodivergent world. Don't forget to share us with your friends, because the Bar is Ankle High!
