329: Embracing Discomfort and Vulnerability: The Power of Group Therapy | Tanya Cole-Lesnick


Listen Later

Join licensed clinical social worker Tanya Cole-Lesnick as she bravely explores the transformative power of group therapy, encouraging individuals struggling with anxiety and depression to embrace discomfort, set boundaries, and improve communication skills for personal growth and empowerment amidst their compelling central conflict.


Tanya Cole-Lesnick has been a psychotherapist (licensed clinical social worker) and coach since 1995. She received her master’s degree in social work from New York University after group therapy changed her life. She has extensive experience in outpatient hospital mental health, private practice, and wellness center settings. From those experiences over the years, she has identified her most important focus—helping people to live lives that light them up. She does this by helping clients access and honor their truth, change habits that don’t serve them, and heal faulty narratives so that they live in alignment inside and out. Her work revolves around intimate groups as sharing inner worlds and being human together in a safe space is what she finds to be the most powerful way for lives to transform.


In this episode, you will learn the following:

  • The importance of discomfort and vulnerability for transformation.
  • The belief that there's nothing wrong with us. It's just part of the human condition.
  • Understand that one’s needs, wants, and boundaries are more important than being good or doing what should be done.
