Today’s guest on The Grounded and Growing Podcast is Denise Brady, who has been a therapist for 11 years and has served the Los Angeles area, specifically advocating and providing care for the chronically mentally ill and individuals working through childhood trauma; emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual trauma. As an ally and Queer Affirming therapist, Denise also works with the LGBTQIA-2 community, providing all of her clients with a safe space to be their authentic selves. 

 

In this episode, Denise shares some of the positive benefits of therapy, and how it can help both parties (the practitioner and the client) learn more about themselves and understand their ways of being. Through being a therapist, Denise has been able to change the lives of many and impact her community in such a positive way that is truly inspirational and eye opening. Although it may seem like there are certain stigmas around mental health and therapy, this conversation really brings to light that we are all going through adversity and challenges in our lives that we don’t talk about, however, talking about it in a safe space can allow you to be able to heal and grow into who you are truly meant to be.

 

This interview inspired me to be courageous in showing up as my authentic self and to spread kindness to the world and especially to myself, and I hope it does the same for you! If we can all work towards healing our traumas, we can slowly but surely make this world a better place for ourselves and others.
