When you struggle with anxiety or depression, it can feel incredibly isolating, and learning how to navigate these emotions can seem like an uphill battle. Through the lens of personal experience, our host, Katherine Hurtig, sheds light on the transformative power of counselling.

On this episode of Living Fully, we’re turning the tables. Our host, Katherine Hurtig, shares her story about her journey with depression and anxiety. Before Katherine started working at Calgary Counselling Centre, she was a client and went through one-on-one and group program counselling. Together with registered social worker Sarah Rosenfeld, they delve into the impact of counselling on her emotional well-being. Discover what anxiety and depression looked like for Katherine, how she learned to shift her thinking, the different coping strategies she gained, and how the group therapy program at Calgary Counselling Centre helped her feel less alone. This is a story of personal growth, resilience, and the transformative journey that many of us are in.
