Rediscovering Your Abundance
Your spirituality, faith, or religious tradition are part of the whole you. In this recorded webinar video, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Carol Smith, guides us through the questions: How can therapists help us heal from past spiritual wounds? What is spiritually-integrated psychotherapy? And how can we use our own spirituality and religious traditions to help strengthen and improve our mental health?
Kayla’s Story
"I was drinking a lot, but not like alcoholic levels. It was manageable, of course, just when I went out, I didn't know my limit. I would always pass my limit. So pretty reckless. My partners were not good partners. And yeah, I didn't really have a relationship with my mom."

Those mechanisms can include defenses such as Repression, Internalization, Projection, Rationalization, and Denial. Monét C. Shell, therapist at Insight Counseling Centers, explores the types of traumas presented by Black clients in therapy.
