Welcome to Part Two of our Q+A series, Special Topics: Therapy Sessions at the Center for Violence Prevention. Did you know that May is also #mentalhealthawarenessmonth ? Here is what we covered during this session: -How do you as a therapist recognize ways or moments during sessions when their past is still affecting them, or how it led them into the situations they are in today? -What are some challenges that you have seen the most when people are working on their mental health and recovery? -How do you help a client understand it was not their fault, and empower them to change their future? -What do you recommend for those considering counseling? -What can a client expect from one of your sessions? How is it structured? -What are some final thoughts you would like to share with those who have survived a traumatic experience? A special thank you to our counselors, Eboni Leflore-Jackson, LPC-S (Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor) and Reagan Owen, P-LPC (Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor). Knowledge about these topics can help a client tremendously if they are seeking out counseling services. Mental health is just as important as physical health. This is where healing begins.
