** Advisory note that content in this episode may not be suitable for children. **

Angela and Emily are preparing to lose their therapy “virginity” on air, but in this episode, we establish a foundation of trust between patient and therapist, Jared Johnson.

Jared T. Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), who earned a degree from the University of Utah, where his clinical focus was on Forensics. Jared has worked in the field for over 20 years, and as a clinician for the last 8 years. He has worked in residential and outpatient substance use disorder clinics. The specific therapy types that he uses in his daily work are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Relapse Prevention Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Interventions/Skills.

Jared has been married to his wife Davian for 15 years, who is a REFIT Instructor and loves to share her experience with REFIT with everyone. They have 4 kids: Berlyn, Greysen, Kayden, and Addelyn.

Jared begins painting the therapy canvas by answering questions such as:

• does everyone need therapy?

• are certain people “untreatable?”

• what are the different types of therapy?

• how do you identify signs of depression?

• does Angela need therapy if everyone else is getting it? (Answer: YES)
