Summary

Whitney Goodman, LMFT, is the radically honest psychotherapist behind the hugely popular Instagram account @sitwithwhit, author, and the owner of The Collaborative Counseling Center, a virtual therapy practice in Florida.

In this beautiful conversation, Whitney and I discuss the following topics:

How to define "trauma" (spoiler, it's hard)
Living in fantasy vs. reality
Toxic positivity
Healing across generations
Why some people are more open to being held accountable than others
Self trust
Creating a strong family narrative

More about Whitney Goodman...

Whitney's debut book (released February 2022), TOXIC POSITIVITY: KEEPING IT REAL IN A WORLD OBSESSED WITH BEING HAPPY, shows readers how to shift the goal from being happy to being authentic in order to live fully.

Whitney has her own column in Psychology Today and has been featured in dozens of domestic and international publications, including The New York Times, Teen Vogue, NY Magazine, and Good Morning America. For more information, please visit www.sitwithwhit.com.

0:00.0	Hey, what's up? This is Kristen Carter and you're listening to a new biweekly series on
0:13.4	the I have ADHD podcast called Maybe I'm Not The Problem. This is a different type of
0:19.1	podcast where I have deep conversations with therapists, psychologists, and trauma-informed
0:24.8	coaches about how our pasts are upbringing, our parents, our teachers, our traumas, our
0:29.5	neurodivergencies, all of that have impacted us and how maybe, just maybe, we are not the

1:49.4	and it's really been a reckoning is that yes, there's a lot of accountability that I need
1:53.9	to take and there's a lot of things that I need to make sure that I'm working on and changing
1:58.7	and healing, but also there are areas where I'm not the problem. And what's so fascinating
2:07.4	about that is that I found with myself and my clients as I start to kind of broach this
2:14.0	subject with them as well, that it's a lot harder to realize where you're not the problem.
