Hi everyone,
If you have been with me for any amount of time, you know, I love being a therapist but I do not like being the center of attention.
However, when it comes to talking about therapy and why mental health matters, I will continue to share.
Recently, I was a guest on a podcast, where I was able to talk about both, including my journey.
Thank you to Marc and please support Casual Nonsense by giving a listen/leaving a review. They are on all the podcast platforms and talk about a lot of other fun things/have great guests.
Below is the podcast/some of the highlights.
Enjoy!
Hugs,
Anna.

Some of the things we get into:
*Mental Health Matters
*What a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Does and why this is important
*How my life turned upside down when I was 12
*Why I do not prescribe medication/diagnosis to my clients rather than knowing my job is, along with the person I’m connecting with, to accept you for who you are
*Therapy is for everyone as life is tough (we all come into a hurting world filled with pain and experience things that don’t make sense)
*What therapy is to me? Therapy is walking with my clients, seeing/feeling what is alive-true-active for you. My job is not to see what is wrong/prescribe you something/fix something. Life is a journey and its good to have someone with you to progress. I want you to know you don’t have to be alone while going through it.
And last….
*We all need a confidant and someone to journey with.
If you would like to explore what this could look like in a kind-open-compassionate and patient way, please reach out to me.
