Should you see a therapist?
The answer is always yes because therapy is awesome, but to get a big more serious, sometimes it's hard to tell, right? Part of the reason I wanted to have a real, life therapist on the show was because when I am doing Shadow Work workshops (or when I share my free Me and My Shadow workbook), I always say that sometimes you need more than shadow work to help you with problems.
Amanda Hammond talks to us about what to look for and some of the signs that suggest it might be a good idea to seek outside help. She's also really cool and down to earth, and if I didn't know her personally and was in need of a therapist, I would 100% go to her, and I figured my listeners would, too.
I also tell you the MOST BANANAS story I have about my first ever therapist (spoiler alert: she ended up yelling at me and begging me not to leave when I felt it was time to go).
Amanda Hammond is a Registered Psychotherapist with over 18 years of experience. She is a female entrepreneur in Kingston and works specifically with women and couples. Amanda is a recovering people-pleaser and perfectionist; who prides herself on her authenticity and realness. She channels her inner badass in order to help women uncover theirs, and loves bearing witness to women becoming the best version of themselves.
Amanda takes the approach of being the therapist she would want to see - and understands that she is not for everyone. Nor should she be!
Her priority is her clients and ensuring it is a good fit for them, that both parties will feel successful at the end of the work together.
Amanda owns the private practice with her husband, Darrell, also a Registered Psychotherapist and while they have different approaches and modalities, their values are the same.
