It's Therapy Thursday!!

Discover the transformative journey of Denise Schonwald, a former critical care nurse turned licensed mental health counselor, as she integrates the worlds of mental and physical health. Her inspiring narrative, alongside insights from her children's book "Getting Back to Happy," reveals the profound connection between emotional and physical well-being. We explore how anxiety manifests physically and discuss the importance of addressing root causes for holistic healing. With a focus on gut health and the consequences of unresolved emotional issues, Denise shares her unique approach to wellness, offering listeners a fresh perspective on achieving balance.

Our dialogue extends into the realm of addiction, presenting a holistic view that intertwines mental, physical, and spiritual health. Drawing from my book "Healing Your Body by Mastering Your Mind," we examine the body's way of signaling distress and the role of addictions in providing temporary relief. We emphasize the necessity of addressing underlying issues to truly break free from addictive cycles, likening the process to peeling away the layers of an onion. This layered healing journey encourages listeners to view addictive patterns from a new angle, understanding the intricate interplay of emotions and behaviors.

Navigating the complexities of trauma, spirituality, and domestic violence in therapy, we stress the importance of a safe, supportive environment. Whether it's learning to trust one's body, finding the right therapist, or understanding the dynamics of abusive relationships, our conversation offers practical insights and personal anecdotes. We discuss the spiritual dimension of healing and decision-making, providing valuable tools for listeners seeking alternative health practices. As the episode concludes, listeners are reminded of the power of community engagement and are encouraged to explore diverse approaches to personal and professional growth.
