Melissa LeSane - To be or not to be, (non)monogamous?!
To be or not to be monogamous/non-manogamous is the issue that people can get stuck on when developing intimate relationships, including performers because their tends to be an assumption made that performers' relationships are automatically non-monogamous. Deciding what is "right", "best", "tree" can feel like a never-ending loop of confusion, and there's usually very little outside support around this experience.

Dr Jena Field - Want to feel less anxious? Find your shame - PineappleSummit
183 viewshttp://www.PineappleSummit.org In this talk Dr. Jena Field talks about finding your shame In recent years, there has been a lot of media coverage about anxiety. What is not talked about is that anxiety is a secondary emotion. It's the one we see and feel, but it is not the main emotion driving us. Anxiety is often the result of a deeper emotion, shame. If we are going to tackle our anxiety we need to tackle the shame driving it. The strange truth is that shame uses anxiety to protect us. When we recognize our own shame/anxiety link, we can break the link. We become healthier and more productive as a result. Using my own anxiety and shame as an example, I demonstrate how you can discover, challenge, and change your anxious thoughts and the shame-fueled beliefs that drive them.
