Solving For Joy

What if experiencing joy could be as simple as taking it one step at a time?

In today’s episode, your host Dr. Chrissie Ott welcomes Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Corey Thompson to discuss finding joy, particularly when it comes to relationships and intimacy. Corey first shares his personal journey to becoming a therapist specializing in intimacy and sexual health.

Together, Chrissie and Corey explore the nature of joy, emphasizing that it often resides in the unexpected, and in both positive and negative experiences. They also discuss the importance of connection in relationships, and the concept of microdosing joy.

Key Episode Takeaways:

  • Joy often hides in the unexpected and uncertain.
  • Microdosing joy is about taking it slowly, in bite-sized pieces and experiencing joy in everyday moments.
  • Healing from betrayal can lead to new opportunities for growth.
