The Intuitive Therapist with Janis R. Cohen

The most important human trait you can have

Each of us has strengths and weaknesses and both of them are equally valuable. However, there is one single human trait that is timeless and proven to be one of the most important to cultivate. Janis reveals this ideal trait and identifies how you can use it to evolve into the greatest version of yourself. 

The mind f*cks about life

Paradoxes are infused throughout everyone’s lives.  What’s fascinating about them is they seem counterintuitive, yet they make so much sense.  Janis shares some thought-provoking paradoxes that will make you think twice about how you live your life.

10 Rules for being human

We are all spiritual beings, being human.  But what does that actually mean and how do we know that we are doing this human thing the way it was intended for us to do it. Are there really rules about how to do this human life thing? Janis talks about the 10 rules of being human, by Dr. Cherie Carter-Scott, and how you can use these rules to determine if you are on track in life.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question

We ask questions all of the time; about everything.  Questions can evolve out of curiosity or necessity.  They can be provocative, obvious and even mystifying. The question is, are you asking the “right” questions? There is one fundamental question that can have a lasting impact on your life; and, it’s not what you might think. In this episode, Janis talks about this one powerful question and how you pose it to yourself to truly change your life.

Tower moments: Why upheaval happens in your life without your consent

Do you ever wonder why abrupt life changes happen unexpectedly to you? When you are stuck in a situation that inhibits your growth, in a relationship that isn’t for your highest good, or you are too afraid to move forward in your life, Spirit gives us tower moments; moments that push you to deal with what you have been avoiding.

"You either make this choice or I am going to make it for you. When I have to step in, you aren’t going to be too happy. SO you either go where this goes or I will. There is a reason. It’s time to get unstuck and get back happy with yourself." -Spirit

The move you’re afraid to make could be the one that changes everything

In each of us, there is an inner knowing of what next steps to take, yet in many cases, we don’t take that step. We’re afraid of the unknown and of what the unknown requires of us. Janis talks about how taking chances in life can bring about the changes of our dreams.

 

How to stop people-pleasing and develop healthy boundaries with Wil Carlos

People-pleasing comes from a deep-seated need to gain outside validation and avoid rejection and abandonment. Because these needs dominate many people's lives, achieving them oftentimes comes with a hefty price tag of poor boundaries and martyrdom. In this episode, Janis talks with energy healer Wil Carlos, about how to approach boundary making in a radically different way so that people-pleasing and over-giving don't make us emotionally and physically bankrupt.  

The magic of the word “Yet”

Oftentimes, we forget how powerful words can be in our lives. Yet, even a simple word like yet can change how we perceive and experience something. Janis talks about the power of this one tiny, “yet” big word and how you can use it in your life to create expansiveness and self-confidence.       

 

How to have fewer inner conflicts

The path to wholeness and holiness is one and the same; embracing every part of yourself. That said, what is the difference between judgment and discernment and how can you learn to cultivate the one that offers you the greatest opportunity for peace? Janis helps you understand the difference and how you can shift into self-acceptance and happiness.    

The downsides of empathy

There is a dark side to feeling the emotions of other people and empaths know this first hand. We feel what others feel in more ways than we can possibly explain. While being empathic has its perks, the costs can sometimes be steep.  Janis talks about empathy, its downside, and how to combat the painful consequences of being a highly sensitive person.
