Content Warning: violence against POC during a mental health crisis

Welcome to episode 2 of the Jordan Lang Podcast! We are officially diving into season 1's theme of emotional and mental wellness with today's episode which is a conversation on Spiritual Therapy with Chelsie Skowyra.

Chelsie is a spiritual therapist and reiki master who bridges the gap between psychology and spirituality to provide support for anyone on a journey of self-exploration. She is a Pisces Sun, Capricorn Moon, Pisces Rising with a love for the ocean, curating playlists, and writing. She currently lives in Michigan with her husband and nine year old dog, Jiffy.

Episode 02 Touches On:

• the difference between traditional therapy and spiritual therapy
• who spiritual therapy is for
• the short-term + long-term benefits of spiritual therapy
• most common misconceptions about therapy
• the importance of education in this space of therapy
• AND MORE!

Quotes from this episode:

• The business of mental health is way different than I thought it was before getting into the field; there's this whole bureaucratic type of system that has some pretty strong foundations in white supremacy and patriarchy.

• Sessions with me are super collaborative because I see myself as meeting the person where they're at while simultaneously holding that space that I know that they really want to be at but don't quite know how to get to.

• The reason why I felt so called to claim that title of Spiritual Therapist is because I think the mental health world needs a reckoning. It needs a re-do.
