While we are joined by a licensed therapist, this conversation is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional therapy.****** In honor of May's Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re joined by Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Katie Babcock, whose path to healing started in a childhood where she quickly learned to navigate uncertainty. She turned to sports and physical strength, but eventually realized that true safety comes from within. Today, Katie leads a therapy practice supporting high-achieving professionals grappling with burnout, unresolved trauma, attention difficulties, and substance difficulties. She’s on a mission to destigmatize mental health and reframe so-called “issues” as normal human responses to pain. This episode is an honest, empowering reminder that healing is possible and that we all deserve support along the way. ****If you're struggling or need support, please know that you're not alone—help is available.
