So often there is a stigma surrounding mental health and therapy. But just as our physical body needs care, our minds and souls were created to need connection and healing as a VITAL part of our health! In episode 25 of The Mom Podcast, therapist Lily Ewing walks us through the power of vulnerability and safety in a therapy relationship to bring healing to our mind, body, and spirit. She articulates the importance of connection, and the value of finding our authentic self in a trusted therapeutic environment. Lily is a Seattle-based therapist who specializes in mental and emotional health and connection. As a therapist, her life’s work is to teach and encourage people how to be bravely authentic and how to grow meaningful connections with themselves and others. When she’s not doing therapy, you’ll probably find her reading or writing poetry, hiking the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, or adding to the number of plants in her house. While only a dog mom for now, she is passionate about nurturing others toward growth and bringing beauty to the struggle of it all.
