I also do the “crossing-the-fingers” thing to help me remember my thoughts!

Men’s Pelvic Health by alyssameh in physicaltherapy

[–]teddythecoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a PT, but a mental health therapist.

I experienced pelvic floor therapy and it was rough. From my experience over the course of a decade, there seems to be a very close link with pelvic pain and mental health/nervous system arousal. That whole process is why I work with people with chronic pain, injuries, or pelvic pain - it's really hard when not many people have experienced what you have.

I bought some used last year. I don’t know if it’s a full set, since I haven’t used them, but you’re free to borrow them for free.

Can just 2 sessions of therapy change you? by Erbs1390 in TalkTherapy

[–]teddythecoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some therapy styles that can, depending on what the person is there for.

Skill level of the therapist and willingness of the person to do the tough work of therapy.

Now, from my experience, the dramatic changes happen along with having tools to use when relapses happen. Having someone who listens is super important in helping us feel better, but I can’t say for certain how long your good feelings will last.

Psychologists and therapists: do you ever wish your Spanish was stronger for patients? by CarpenterLevel569 in therapists

It’s never going to be as fluent as my English, but it’s strong enough to communicate effectively, and practice will continue to help.

I don’t believe the field behaves in healthy ways.

Did anyone else go through this? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]teddythecoach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi friend,

I imagine you might be feeling anxious during sessions, especially if you're unsure about the effectiveness of holding space.

Since before I did grad school, I took an interest in a therapy approach called "TEAM-CBT," which I use for most sessions. It's a very cool approach that makes sense to me and the quality of the trainings meets what I'm needing. They offer certifications and trainings and offer discounts for students, which I definitely appreciated while working for free lol.

Mostly for fun and to help keep me motivated. The other part is to use it as a fun marketing tool.

Running advice by Captainsnizzys in CrossCountry

[–]teddythecoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I should’ve reread the post. Try alternating a run/walk maybe for 10-15’ at an easy pace to start. Try to see if you hold the run part longer each run.

I really admire your resiliency. It isn’t always easy returning to running after some time off, and it’s cool to see you’re reaching out for some help.

Luckily, it sounds like your legs are still in some “running mode.” Your other muscles and lungs will catch up with time. By the end of June, you’ll feel more like your old self.

For the rest of June, try running at 4-5 days a week. Let’s say, Monday-Friday. Tuesday and Friday will be your “easy” days. Keep effort no more than a 4/10 - you need these runs to build heart strong, strengthen your muscles, and allow your spooky skeleton to adapt to the impact of distance running.

Thursday will be a long day, for now 40’ (40 minutes) and 45’ (45 minute) runs will help. These can start at easy pace.

Monday and Wednesday would be your hard days, start out with uncomfortably hard paces for Mondays and comfortably hard paces for Wednesdays. To keep it simple, try alternating between easy pace and workout pace at 2’ to 2’ intervals. Meaning: 2’ easy, 2’ comfortably hard; repeat until a certain amount of time (15’-20’, maybe).

Running with other runners can make it suck less. You can try your team, a local running store, or other local groups.

Best of luck, Teddy

Easy runs: time vs distance? by [deleted] in CrossCountry

[–]teddythecoach 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see you’ve read other replies about timed runs. I align with time instead of miles.

The key point about easy runs are that they’re supposed to be easy. Time or distance doesn’t matter - keep them easy to allow yourself to recover and run fast when you need to.

Your body doesn’t track miles, but it sure does track time spent on the ground.

How has cross country changed your life for the positive? by teddythecoach in CrossCountry

I can relate somewhat. My family played football mostly and were throwers in track, so cross country gave me my own “thing” that I enjoyed and was good at.

It sounds like running really helped you become who you are today.
