https://larissamacfarlane.podbean.com I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping everyone achieve personal and relational wellness. While some people claim to know and teach strategies that will reduce anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, that is not what we do here. On this podcast, we will talk about what actually allows us to be mentally healthy and have deep, connected relationships. Really, I hope that as you listen you will discover that all you need already exists within you and the more you gain trust and confidence in that, your life will become one you love! Let’s Go!

She also notes that healing is a collective process and I talk about my thoughts on this concept.
