The paradox of change, and the process of healing are extremely similar. Join our Tree’ple Pod host, Vanessa Durrant, licensed therapist and clinical social worker, as she explores how these concepts work in tandem! Vanessa notes how, despite this being a great time of year to contemplate change and healing, society doesn’t necessarily support sustainability in these areas of growth.
Vanessa provides expert guidance from her years as a therapist and healer as she guides listeners through the 5- stage Change Theory Model, and provides insights about how important accessibility and readiness is to our humanity, and thus our capacity for change. Vanessa shares a supportive perspective with listeners by asking questions to self-reflect on. She extends an invitation to tap into our intuition, or, the trust we extend to ourselves.
Vanessa always has a way of deepening into these theoretical concepts by providing practical tips, food for thought, and the gentle normalization we need to apply these bigger concepts to our day to day lives- and episode 13 gives us Tree’ple just that!
