Growing Security

One Conversation At A Time
Listen To The Podcast

So, what is Therapist Uncensored all about?

We have fun translating the complex relational sciences and psychology into understandable and practical tools that can give you the power you need to uncover your best self. (Believe us, your people will be so happy.)

We will help you understand how to recognize and then update unconscious expectations of yourself and others. Applying the science of modern attachment and relational neurobiology can have life-changing impacts on your mind, your choice of partners, your parenting, your social relationships, your work life and how you interact in the world.

Sounds too good to be true, but fortunately the science is very clear, and hopeful… and we want everyone to have access to it.

And as if that's not enough goodness, team Therapist Uncensored is working to dismantle our undeserved privilege in various ways but one is financial.  A full 50% (!) of all income from corporate sponsors and merch sales goes to non-profit organizations that provide access to mental health services for those traditionally left out of mainstream healthcare. Our Neuronerd Patrons support the production of the show so that we together can accomplish this mission and help us make it happen, and they also vote at the end of the year for the charity for the year.

Game Changing

I geek out on clinically-oriented podcasts, and these women seem to find the perfect balance of being accessible yet highly instructive... they don't shout into the mic or pontificate. they are humble, grateful life-long learners who find joy in sharing cutting edge knowledge and high-end guests. Suddenly long-drives have become most bearable...thank you so much.

Love this podcast

For me this is the best podcast there is when it comes to anything to do with understanding ourselves and how we relate to each other on deeper levels. I share this a lot with other healthcare professionals and clients and always trust that the standard is very high and the content up to date / accessible / delivered in a really lovely way.

Super interesting and helpful

As a psychology student I started looking for a podcast on some interesting topics. This is the absolute most interesting podcast I found. I really love how Ann & Sue and their guests present these interesting topics and explain them so clearly. I often share podcast with my fellow students, teachers or even with non-psy friends, because they break the topics down so well. I just finished episode 98 and am still so enthusiastic about this podcast, so I finally subscribed as a Patron to support these amazing women create more content! I can’t wait to continue with the next episode!

This podcast has been invaluable to me on a personal and professional level.

As a parent of an adult son with bipolar and regulation challenges your series holding your own has been truly wonderful and at the end of the challenging year that was 2020 ... came at the perfect time.

Let's talk about it: A Pathway for Conversations & Meaningful Change on Climate with Dr. Anna Graybeal (Series, Ep 4, 205)

Dr. Ann Kelley and Dr. Anna Graybeal discuss the necessary steps to building security and embracing tough conversations within our communities. This conversation takes a scientific and therapy-based approach to guide us toward the big emotions around these topics and equips us with the tools to cope with uncertainties, and an opportunity to learn how to harness healthy discussions around the climate crisis. When we can address the resistance within ourselves, we can use that as fuel to unite and heal our planet, our well-being, and our relationships.

Racial Trauma: Challenges to Traditional Therapy, Part 2 of 2 (SRIW Series, Ep 3, 204)

This a continuation of our previous discussion with Gliceria Pérez & Debra Chatman-Finley where we explore other lasting effects of racial trauma. From the challenges of parenting with an unresolved trauma history to navigating day-to-day as a person of color, they use group therapy as an opportunity to make space for women to vocalize their pain and build community. Gliceria and Debra share personal stories and real-life examples of microaggressions and discrimination and offer insightful ways white individuals can acknowledge their privilege and cultivate an inclusive community.
