Friends, so much has been going on with my book being released at the beginning of this year and now my Podcast journey has officially BEGUN! The first seven episodes are up and running on Soundcloud and iTunes. You’ve got to check them out. But first, let me explain what this is all about – – most of you know that I am a Licensed Counselor, and a Counselor that writes from the perspective of things I have had to walk through in my own life. This podcast is no different, and as I was thinking through a name, here’s what I am excited to announce – – the {Inner} Freedom Initiative.
As a therapist, I know that “self-help” and “counseling” can portray a negative stereotype. For some reason taking care of yourself is not esteemed, but instead, we esteem the sacrificial tendencies of people that over-extend themselves to care for others but do nothing to deal with their own emotional state.
I’m ready to put a stop to that, aren’t you. So here we go!
I like to say that I am in the ‘Freedom Business’ because that’s what a therapist does, and it’s Freedom and Healing that you are seeking when you come to counseling. You are not crazy for growing in your emotional health. The people that seek growth are the people I want to shake hands with. You’re doing great! Keep going! Don’t stop now! These are the words I’m shouting. There’s no head shake of shame for seeking help, we’re cheering for each other, and that’s what this podcast is all about – igniting an INITIATIVE of FREEDOM!!!!
The first Series is 7 mini-episodes that go into an area of Emotional Bondage that is holding you back from FREEDOM. I know one of these are going to hit home for you and your friends: Avoidance, Anger, Fear, Rejection, Opposition, Disappointment, Easily Offended.
