Today we discuss:
-The historical stigma of mental health, therapy, psychology and how we are experiencing a shift from viewing mental health as a sign of weakness to a sign of strength and courage.
-The hard work of therapy and how numbing out and avoidance can keep us from going deeper
-The acceptance and normalization in younger generations of the need for mental health support
-The staggering statistics and impacts of the pandemic on mental health
-How the DNA of our ancestors effect us today and how our individual work can help heal generational trauma
-The positive side of experiencing different therapists and knowing when short term or long term therapy is needed
-Why finding the right fit with a therapist is so important
-The differences between therapy and coaching and when each is beneficial to help manifest your goals
