039: Maureen Clancy (LCSW & EMDR) on Storming Through the Gates of Your Life and Finding the Right Therapist to Help Along the Way

If your therapist isn't working for you, ditch 'em and find a better one!Today I had the pleasure of discussing the importance of finding the right therapist to deal with life’s crazy moments with licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), sensitive soul, and healer, Maureen Clancy.Join us as we delve into how Maureen’s job as a newspaper reporter led her to discover her true passion: healing women who have experienced trauma and hearing their stories.Through personal experience, Maureen discusses how she used to hate being both highly sensitive and extremely empathetic, but eventually learned to use these same qualities to help heal women who are going through life’s emotional “gate passages,” including divorce, domestic violence, childhood trauma, and other areas of emotional turbulence.I love Maureen's message to inspire yourself to take the first steps towards healing your emotional wounds and finding the right therapist for your personal conflicts so that you can strap on those boots and storm through life’s emotional gates!My ThoughtsI mean…I've sought therapy here and there throughout the years and it was either too churchy or too woo or too…nothing – no chemistry, no connection….nothing. So I gave up. And truth be told, I desperately needed therapy…lots and lots to deal with my childhood traumas. And I didn't get it so I stumbled and fumbled far longer than if I'd relentlessly pursued the right therapist for me.I've been pretty open about that on Going There – DO NOT GIVE UP like I did. Keep searching. Do not allow yourself to suffer far longer than necessary. There are so many wonderful therapists (Like Maureen!) out there and I feel a bit jealous when I hear friends and colleagues share their wonderful experiences and how much it helped move them forward. It makes me happysad. Happy for them; sad for me.With that…Are you ready to GO THERE?_____A self-proclaimed introvert and licensed clinical therapist, MAUREEN CLANCY is a total badass healer who loves to listen to the stories of women riding the emotional waves of their lives in order to help them heal and become the best version of themselves.She loves to help empower women going through the gate way of divorce, domestic abuse, and other emotional traumas by listening and providing personalized therapy sessions and services like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Trauma-focused CBT,  Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, or EMDR, and more.
