I seek out a lot of different avenues to see what information helps me and what doesn't. Some of these tools that you're talking about are the types of therapy that you did. Wow, and it's really changed my relationships.
Imagine losing a loved one to addiction and then turning that pain into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Laura Hawkins, a seasoned mental health and substance abuse counselor, shares on this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin'. Hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler dive deep with Laura into the crucial topic of setting boundaries for better mental health.
With over a decade of experience in social work, particularly with homeless adults, Laura brings a wealth of knowledge and personal stories to the table. Laura opens up about her own struggles, including the trauma of losing her father to alcoholism and the unexpected ways co-dependency crept into her life. These experiences, combined with her academic background in Applied Psychology and Criminology, fuel her passion for addressing the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles.
She dreams of starting a non-profit to tackle this issue head-on. Throughout the conversation, you'll hear practical advice on coping with trauma, understanding co-dependency, and the importance of therapy. Laura's insights are not just theoretical; they come from her lived experiences and her work on the front lines. The episode also touches on reparenting yourself and learning to be your own best friend—essential skills for anyone dealing with mental health challenges. But it doesn't stop there.
Laura and the hosts discuss the 'Askholes' concept and the impactful work of the Red Songbird Foundation, making this episode a rich tapestry of wisdom and hope. Whether you're struggling with mental health or supporting someone who is, Laura's story offers valuable lessons and a reminder that boundaries can be a powerful tool for healing.
