In this episode, we swing deeper into the jungle of mental health with special guest Shantanique Moore King, LMFT, to explore the often misunderstood world of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists—because despite the title, LMFTs do a lot more than save date nights and referee arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes.Together, we unpack what LMFTs actually do, how relationship dynamics shape mental health, and why understanding the systems around us—family, partners, friendships, culture—can completely change the way we approach healing.Along the way, we explore questions like:
- What does an LMFT really do?
- How is marriage and family therapy different from other mental health approaches?
- Why do our relationships impact us so deeply?
- Who can benefit from working with an LMFT?
This conversation shines a light on the tangled vines of communication, conflict, attachment, and connection that so often influence emotional well-being. From family dynamics to personal growth, we explore how therapy can help people stop surviving relational chaos and start building healthier ways of connecting.Whether you’re curious about therapy, navigating complicated relationships, or just trying not to get emotionally lost in the wilderness, this episode offers insight, humor, and perspective on one of the most relationally focused corners of mental healthcare.Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about marriage and family therapy, couples counseling, family systems, communication patterns, relationship health, emotional wellness, and surviving the jungle of human connection.Contact Shay [email protected]: @shifthappenswithshayshifthappenswithshay.com
