In this episode of "What the Feels", we are talking about the Disney Pixar film, "Monsters, Inc." with friend and fellow therapist, Shayna Hill.
Shayna is a trained multicultural counselor who honors diversity and broaches it therapeutically. We are all dealt a special hand that shapes how we experience the world and how the world sees us. She affirms the identities that are important to clients (race, gender, sexuality, religion, culture, nationality, etc.) and uses it as needed in the healing process.
Shayna earned her Master of Arts in Professional Counseling with an emphasis on multiculturalism from the University of Colorado in Denver. She also received a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas in Austin in 2010. While in Colorado, Shayna interned at the Gender Identity Center of Colorado and the Counseling Center at the University of Colorado Denver. In Texas, she has worked in the private practice setting and at eating disorder facilities in the PHP and IOP level of care.
Shayna is a native Texan and loves music, cats/animals, singing, rain showers, and spending time with family.

If any overwhelming feelings came up for you during this podcast, I encourage you to think about getting a therapist to talk to. There are great ways to search for therapists including Psychology Today and Therapy Den. Listening to this podcast is not a substitute for therapy.
