Summary
Y'all, we recorded this one in May for Mental Health Awareness Month, but this conversation is so good it will carry you well into June and honestly, straight through the rest of the year. I sat down with one of my most favorite precious humans on this planet, my sweet friend Brandy Haiman, a licensed therapist and social worker with nearly 30 years of experience. She is everything: compassionate, kind, empathetic, a free thinker, and a true champion of the underdog. Brandy opens up about the deeply personal experiences that led her to the therapy profession and y'all, it is a good one. We talk about what therapy has looked like over nearly three decades, why our kids are struggling more than ever with loneliness, and why going to therapy before you hit rock bottom is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. We also get into the Gottman Method, brand-new brain treatments like neurofeedback and Spravato, and why working on your own sweet self is the single most powerful thing you can do!! Even if nobody around you is ready to do the same.We laugh, we get real, and we cover just about everything!!! So friends if you are dealing with something heavy or just want to love the people in your life a little deeper, this episode is for you.
