Joan & Jane Landino, The Therapy Twins

Joan & Jane joined Momma on February 6, 2023 live on Twitch to talk about Therapists & Mental Illness

About Joan & Jane

Joan and Jane are Therapy Twins. Identical twin sisters, former therapists turned Psychiatric Entertainers, and  lifelong seekers who use their own brand of humor and vulnerability to tell revealing stories about their childhood, family, marriages, divorces, dating, and motherhood… and how they uncovered and overcame all their trauma. Their mission is to help people love more and fear less.

Joan and Jane help people understand and heal trauma and get out ahead of the devastating impact it can have on relationships, families, and communities. Using the connection of their unique relationship, shared history, love of irreverence, and sense of humor, Joan and Jane find out the why behind trauma and look for the root emotions that surround the scenario.

“Trauma is something we try to forget, so we use maladjusted behaviors like drinking, drugs, promiscuity, food, or shopping to bury it. We help people explore their ‘worst’ memories. We uncover secrets and shadows, hauling everything out into the open like the buried treasure it can be—because trauma can lead to awareness, which is the path to freedom and joy.”

What Was Said To The Rose

What was said to the rose

that made it open

was said to me

here in my chest.

What was told the cypress

that made it strong and straight,

what was whispered the jasmine

so it is what it is,

whatever made sugarcane sweet,

whatever was said

to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil

in Turkestan that makes them so handsome,

whatever lets the pomegranate flower

blush like a human face,

that is being said to me now.

I blush.

Whatever put eloquence in language,

that’s happening here.

The great warehouse doors open;

I fill with gratitude,

chewing a piece of sugarcane,

in love with the one

to whom every that belongs!
